If by customization you mean "executing custom code", then no.

However, the server provides a great deal of customization via configuration: user-defined properties, categories, lifecycles, revision schemes, etc.

Hello Minkd,

Thanks for replying.

My Point of view here is doing customization on server side which will affect all clients connected to it.

For instance i will deploy a web services app on server side and it should be circulated to all clients connected to it.

I'm not sure if I understand ...

Are you trying to write the equivalent of the "Vault Office" web client?

Are you are looking for a way to use the Vault Server to distribute your add-in?

Hello MinkD,

Thanks for reply.

I am looking for the second option which you mentioned. Is it possible to customize in Vault Server so that addin will circulate to all clients connected to it.

Else in usual case what happen is if we develop addin, we need to install in all vault clients, rather than going for a distributed application in server.

Cheers,

Amit

The Vault server does not provide any add-in distribution capability.  All Autodesk supported Vault clients are installed and updated independantly of the Vault server.

You may want to look into "Project Thunderdome", which apparently supports some notion of deployments from the server. However, I am not personally familiar with this tool.
