Server Coordinator

This component manages the server and system configuration. A user interface Server Configuration is provided for System Administrator to specify the system and server configurations. These configurations included:

• Database Server configuration including database name, database authentication mechanism, and database connection pool setting.
• System administrator setting and authentication mechanism.
• SMTP Server and related settings such as email format and sender information.

The configuration is stored in an XML file that contains the above information.

In a multi-server deployment scenario, this component also manages the clustering and load balancing relationships and configurations among multiple servers.
