Deployment and Installation

  • You can deploy Halocline via the software center as a silent installation.
  • You start the silent installation using the command-line parameter /S.
  • You can find more details here: Installation notes.

 

Authentication and License Validation

An internet connection is required to use Halocline.

General Firewall Permissions

  • In the firewall of your company network, allow the following URLs on port 443:
    • halocline.io
    • halocline.cloud
    • halocline.app
  • Halocline requires these permissions in order to validate licenses.

Additional Requirements from Version 2026.1 (Login via MSAL)

Starting with version 2026.1, Halocline uses the Microsoft Authentication Library MSAL for login. Before the browser opens with the login page, Halocline calls a configuration URL at Microsoft in the background – the so-called OpenID configuration endpoint. Only once this call has been successful does the browser open. If it fails, the login process does not start at all.

To make sure the login works, note the following points:

  • Allow the following configuration URL in your network:
    https://17027e61-18d2-4edb-a30d-d77919a30f0f.ciamlogin.com/17027e61-18d2-4edb-a30d-d77919a30f0f/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration
  • You can check whether the URL is reachable by entering it in the address bar of a browser. The browser will then display a JSON configuration document – not a login form.
  • The configuration document references additional Microsoft URLs that Halocline uses in the further login process (e.g. for authorization and token exchange). Allow these URLs as well.

  • Make sure both executable files are allowed:

    • Halocline.exe
    • Halocline.DataSync.Local.Api.exe

    Allowing access only in the browser or only for one of the two processes is not sufficient.

  • On managed PCs, this call is typically blocked by default. In this case, set up the permission accordingly.

 

Data Storage

Halocline stores all data locally on the PC – distributed across the following directories:

  • User-related data (reports, exports): C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Halocline
  • Content data (layouts, libraries): C:\ProgramData\Halocline
  • Software and executable files: C:\Program Files\Halocline
  • Log files: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Halocline\Logs

 

Backups

  • You can create and restore backups – for example when you replace the VR computer.
  • You can find instructions here: Create a local backup copy.
