An IcePatch2 service hosts two well-known objects, which implement the IcePatch2::FileServer and IcePatch2::Admin interfaces and have the default identity IcePatch2/server and IcePatch2/admin, respectively. If an application requires the use of multiple IcePatch2 services, it is a good idea to assign unique identities to the well-known objects by configuring the servers with different values for the IcePatch2.InstanceName property, as shown in the following example:

$ icepatch2server --IcePatch2.InstanceName=PublicFiles ...

This property changes the category of the objects' identities, which become PublicFiles/server and PublicFiles/admin, respectively. The client's configuration must also be changed to reflect the new identity:

$ icepatch2client --IcePatch2.Endpoints="tcp -h somehost.com \
> -p 10000" --IcePatch2.InstanceName=PublicFiles .
