Unless settings are entered into the bb32.ini file resident where BadgeBuilder® was installed, the XML RPC interface is disabled.
To enable the interface place the following lines in the [status] section of the file. (This file may be read-only. If so, select its properties and remove the read-only check mark.)
XMLPort=8080
XMLAccessKey=Magic Key
If the XMLPort value is missing, or set to 0, the XML RPC interface will be disabled. Choose any unused port to enable to interface. A popular choice is 8080. (To discover which ports are currently in use run the netstat –an command from a Windows™ XP or 2000 command prompt window.)
The XMLAccessKey value can be any string of characters you wish.
If you plan to use the supplied client DLL then there is no needed to set the XMLAccessKey value. But if you do set it, then you must also tell the DLL what the key is.
If you plan to write your own XML RPC client then you must set the desired key in bb32.ini and use it in your XML communications.
For either entry, do not put spaces around the equals (=) sign.
