Using LDAP

One may either

• create a LDIF file (e.g.):

    version: 1
    dn: dcmWebAppName=DCM4CHEE,dicomDeviceName=dcm4chee-arc,cn=Devices,cn=DICOM Configuration,dc=dcm4che,dc=org
    dicomDescription: Hide instances rejected for Quality Reasons
    dcmWebServiceClass: WADO_RS
    dcmWebServiceClass: STOW_RS
    dcmWebServiceClass: QIDO_RS
    dcmWebServiceClass: QIDO_COUNT
    dcmWebServiceClass: DCM4CHEE_ARC_AET
    objectClass: dcmWebApp
    dicomAETitle: DCM4CHEE
    dcmWebAppName: DCM4CHEE
    dcmWebServicePath: /dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/rs
  
    dn: dcmWebAppName=DCM4CHEE-WADO,dicomDeviceName=dcm4chee-arc,cn=Devices,cn=DICOM Configuration,dc=dcm4che,dc=org
    dicomDescription: Hide instances rejected for Quality Reasons
    dcmWebServiceClass: WADO_URI
    objectClass: dcmWebApp
    dicomAETitle: DCM4CHEE
    dcmWebAppName: DCM4CHEE-WADO
    dcmWebServicePath: /dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/wado
  

  and import it to the LDAP Server by using the ldapmodify command line utility.

• or use the Add Attribute... and Add Value... function of Apache Directory Studio to add attributes on Device level (e.g.: dicomDeviceName=dcm4chee-arc) in the Archive Configuration.

Refer to Web Application to understand the description of attributes.

Go to the Control tab on Configuration page in archive UI and reload the configuration.
