Managing the Visitors Log
When a user views a Model through a Web Interface website, or successfully logs in or out, it is recorded in the visitors.txt file that resides in the following folder:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PTC Integrity Modeler Web Interface\settings
Over time the size of the visitors.txt file will grow, so you may want to delete or back up its content on a regular basis.
Configuring the Web Interface Website to Use HTTP
By default, PTC Integrity Modeler Web Interface websites are configured to use HTTPS/SSL. This configuration option ensures communication between clients and server is totally secure.
When an error occurs during a log in attempt to a Web Interface website, the full details of the error are recorded in a log file that is named errors.log. In addition, the status.log file records useful information about the status of the Web Interface website.
The error.log and status.log files reside in the following folder.
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PTC Integrity Modeler Web Interface\settings
Important: The status.log file can become significantly large.
