Customise Windows service name: omero.windows.servicename

[manics]

This is needed to allow multiple server deployments on the same Windows system.

C:\OMERO.server>bin\omero config set omero.windows.servicename toast

C:\OMERO.server>bin\omero config get
omero.data.dir=\OMERO
omero.windows.servicename=toast

C:\OMERO.server>bin\omero admin start
Found default value: c:\omero_dist\var\master

This is currently deployed as a merge-deploy on Hake (OMERO-5.1-merge-deploy-win, port 4064, servicename: OMEROmerge) alongside latest-deploy (OMERO-5.1-latest-deploy-win, port 14064, default servicename since PR isn't merged). Note multiple web/IIS isn't working for other reasons so ignore web for now.

Test locally on your own VM if you're feeling brave.

OMERO.master on Hake, from trout/merge:

Created session 51bf90ce-892e-4ed0-9855-29a81beaf8cb (root@hake.openmicroscopy.org:4064).

Interestingly, the CLI told me:

Previously logged in to hake.openmicroscopy.org:4064 as root

Which is wrong, since you can clearly see in my previous comment it definitely connected to 14064.. :/

Other than that, 👍 🐟

[sbesson]

Do you remember if you did login/logout before connecting to port 4064?

[sbesson]

In general, the problem is that the port of the previous session is saved in the session file itself (and not aliased list last host and last user), so if the session file is removed, there is no way to remember which port was used. A workaround may be to detect this case and not specify the port for the last connection if it cannot be read.

[joshmoore]

Alternatively, to add the port to the host name on disk?

[sbesson]

As in an additional subfolder?

[joshmoore]

that or, say, everything after a comma: localhost,14064

[sbesson]

Yes that would likely minimize the impact on the sessions logic (default to hostname if the port is the default). I wonder if there is a better separator than ',' for this kind of things. Want to open a ticket?

Merging this to leave @sbesson fun with 12609. Thanks, @manics.
