Advanced System Configuration
The Advanced System Configuration (Management Console Advanced Configuration) page
allows the configuration of various security related parameters. Security affects all areas of the system
and so this page divides the configurable items into their respective areas.
User Interface
• Allow Open Webfolder in Firefox: When enabled, Firefox users will see the Open As
Webfolder action for network places. This requires that the Open as Webfolder Firefox
extension is installed
• Maximum number of retrieved Users: This property limits the number of users returned
from a large user database for performance tuning.
• Maximum number of retrieved Groups: This property limits the number of groups returned
from a large user database for performance tuning.
Web Server
• Valid External Hostnames: If a value is provided here, the hostname that the client uses to
access the server must match one of those below. If it does not, the browser will be redirected to
the first hostname in the list.
• Invalid hostname action: Sets the action to take if a client tries to connect using an invalid
hostname.
Resources
• WebDAV without cookies: Allow WebDAV access from clients that do not support cookies.
This would include Nautilus in Gnome, Finder in OS X and other WebDAV clients. Behaviour is
much the same, except it is not possible to mount unauthenticated Network Places (i.e. those that
would normally pop up a secondary authentication dialog). It may also have an affect on
performance as authentication is performed on every request.
Network Places
• Try current user (1st): First, try using the current SSL VPN user / password if an underlying
file store requests authentication.
• Try guest (2nd): Secondly, try using the underlying stores guest user and password if it requests
authentication. This is store dependant.
Proxies
• Non-Proxied Hosts: Any host that should bypass the proxy server should be entered here.
Entries should be one per line with no termination character. Wildcards such as ‘*.example.com’
may be entered to exclude a range of hosts.
