This plugin is installed by uploading the plugin package (ATS.CM4DPlugin.zip) in ATS Security and Configuration Manager.
CM4D API is a Windows service which connects to the CM4D Configuration plugin and supports the web applications CM4D Peruse and Upload Portal and their associated Windows services.
The CM4D API service is installed with the CM4D Configuration installer. The CM4D Configuration install process requires a user with administrative access to ATS Security and Configuration Manager.
