UserInterface

The configurationA set of constituent components that make up a system. This includes information on how the components are connected including the settings applied. file login_dat.xml includes general login settings. Having successfully installed the UserInterface, the system provides a default template from which you can create the templates for the individual users. This is done when a user logs on to the AE system for the very first time. The values that are stored in an individual template (including changed settings such as the language or the appearance of the UserInterfaces) are then used as the particular user's default values and are stored whenever s/he logs off.

Note that it is not required to adjust the configuration file manually because the individual values are supplied by the AE system.

You can also specify the path to the file login_dat.xml by using the start parameter -O.
