Configure your site's settings

Use the Configure Application tool to define your site level TeamForge settings.

The Configure Application tool, added in TeamForge 17.4, makes TeamForge site level settings configurable via the user interface. This comes in handy for site administrators, who otherwise would have to work with the site-options.conf file and then recreate the TeamForge runtime for site level configuration changes.

To modify your site settings, select My Workspace > Admin and select Projects > System Tools > Configure Application, modify the available site settings as required and click Save.

Available settings

Project
These are project settings that apply globally to all the projects in your TeamForge site.
- ALLOWED DOMAINS FOR CSRF: Specifies the list of allowed domains to prevent users from performing any CSRF related activities. This list of domains is validated against the origin and the referer headers for any incoming requests into TeamForge. This is helpful while configuring TeamForge for cross-origin requests. The default value is "*" which allows all types of domains or URLs. Example URLs/domains: forge.collab.net, forge.collab.net/sf/sfmain/do/home.
- NOTIFY ASSOCIATION AND DEPENDENCY UPDATES: Notification emails can be sent to all monitoring users when an association or dependency is added to an object. You can select the NOTIFY ASSOCIATION AND DEPENDENCY UPDATES check box to let TeamForge send notification emails to all monitoring users when an association or dependency is added. Clear this check box otherwise.
- PROHIBITED FILE TYPES: You can restrict users from uploading specific file types. Add a list of comma-separated file extensions in this field to prevent those file types from being uploaded. For example, adding "exe,jar" prevents .exe and .jar files from being uploaded to TeamForge.
  Note: There are certain file upload restrictions already in place in TeamForge. For example, you can upload only an image file for a user's profile picture in the My Settings page. Such restrictions, by default, override the site level settings configured in the Configure Application page.
Tracker
These are tracker settings that apply globally to all the trackers in your TeamForge site.
- MASS IMPORT ARTIFACTS LIMIT: You can restrict the number of artifacts that can be mass-imported. Type the maximum number of artifacts that you want to allow via mass import in the MASS IMPORT ARTIFACTS LIMIT text box.
External Authentication

These settings are tied to any external authentication.
- ALLOW DATABASE AUTHENTICATION IF LDAP IS ENABLED: Select this check box to have LDAP credentials stored in TeamForge and have users authenticated via TeamForge every time a user logs in. This helps improve performance by optimizing the number of authentication calls between TeamForge and LDAP servers.
  Important: Enabling this parameter is mandatory for sites with internally managed CVS servers.
- FORCE RE-AUTHENTICATION WITH LDAP SERVER: If you have enabled database authentication, LDAP user credentials are stored when users login for the first time and continue to login using the locally stored LDAP credetials. However, you can restrict such indefinite usage of the stored LDAP credentials and force user re-authentication at regular intervals by setting up this configuration parameter. For example, setting a value of 24 would force user re-authentication (by the LDAP server) every 24 hours.
