Configuring server administration settings

The System Settings page shows your server settings, the SkyVault Content Services web application repository settings, and the SkyVault Share application settings.

1. Open the Admin Console.
2. In the General section, click System Settings.

   You see the System Settings page showing the details of your installation.

3. Set the Repository Settings properties:

   These properties are read-only and are set in the SkyVault-global.properties file only. See the properties starting with SkyVault in sysAdmin subsystem properties.

   Repository Settings property	Example setting	What is it?
   Repository Context	SkyVault	This property specifies the context path of the web application URL. The default value is SkyVault. The context path is the path that is used by applications (for example, IMAP, SharePoint, and email) to access SkyVault Content Services. If you change this value, it must be defined with the same name as the directory name specified by your application server. For example, if you are using Tomcat, this is the /webapps/SkyVault directory in Tomcat, where SkyVault is the name of the proxy server or specific server that you are using.
   Repository Hostname	${localname}	This property is the host name of the web application that is used by external applications. SkyVault Content Services attempts to auto-detect the host name in place of ${localname}. If auto-detection fails, ${localname} is replaced with the IP address.
   Server Allow Writes	true	Write access is permitted to the repository, as long as the license is valid. When this property is set to false, the repository is in read-only mode.
   Protocol	http	This property is the protocol component of the web application. The default is http. If you require HTTPS support you will need to configure this in the host application server.
   Port	8080	This property is the port number of the web application URL that is resolved by external applications. The default is 8080.

4. Set the Server Settings properties:

   Server Settings property	Example setting	What is it?
   Allowed Users		This property allows you to specify which users can log in. By default, all users can log in. Enter a comma-separated list of users to allow only those users to log in. If you do not include the administrator user setting up this list (that is, the current user), then this will added automatically.
   Maximum Users	-1	The maximum number of simultaneous users allowed to log in. The default value -1 allows an unlimited number of users.

5. Set the Share Application Settings properties:

   Share Application Settings property	Example setting	What is it?
   Share Context	share	This property sets the context path of the Share web application URL. The default is share. You can set this context to a name that is appropriate.
   Protocol	http	This property sets the protocol for the Share web application. The default is http. HTTPS support requires additional configuration within the host application server.
   Share Hostname	127.0.0.1	This property sets the externally resolvable host name of the Share web application URL. The default value is ${localname}.
   Port	8080	This property sets the externally resolvable port number of the web application URL. The default is 8080.
   Site Public Group	GROUP_EVERYONE	This property is the name of the group that controls user to access Public sites. The default is GROUP_EVERYONE, which contains all users.
