TN IT306 InTouch Runtime Error "You cannot configure users on an NAD node" With a Managed Application

Description

This article from InSource explains error "You cannot configure users on an NAD node" during runtime.

Details

Using InTouch Security with a managed application works as expected with one difference. You will not be able to configure users during runtime. With a Standalone application you can use the $ConfigureUsers tag to edit users during runtime. You can add/remove users and adjust their security level accordingly.

You cannot use this feature with a managed application because if it was allowed every time you redeployed the application these settings would be removed. The InTouch security configuration is contained in the password.bin file located in the local application folder. This folder gets replaced upon deployment.

Error message:

All InTouch security settings should be done in the IDE by opening the application and modifying security in WindowMaker.
