Global properties

The global properties apply to the entire PageSeeder server.

These values, stored in global.properties, can be found in:

WEB-INF/config

Property	Description	Default value
`apiAccountIPs`	Comma-separated list of IP addresses for API accounts (`apiAccountUsernames`). Doesn’t apply to OAuth client_credentials.

`autoResponderLimit`	Allowed number of email messages to the same locator within the auto responder time (`autoResponderMinutes`) before sending warning emails	`25`
`autoResponderMinutes`	Reaching the auto responder limit (`autoResponderLimit`) in less than this period triggers warning email	`90`
`autoResponderReplyLimit`	Allowed number of email replies allowed to the same thread within the auto responder time (`autoResponderMinutes`) before sending warning emails	`10`
`autoResponderWarnings`	How many emails with warnings to accept before rejecting comments	`5`

`disableDefaultDKIM`	If `true` outgoing emails are not signed with the pageseeder.com DKIM (use if your SMTP server does the signing). Requires PageSeeder v6 or higher.	`false`
`documentFolder`	Path on host file system for storing documents. If no value is specified, the folder used is: `[pageseeder install]/documents`

The default value for both forbiddenAttachmentExtensions and forbiddenUploadExtensions is: ade,adp,apk,appx,appxbundle,bat,cab,chm,cmd,com,cpl,diagcab,diagcfg,diagpack,dll,dmg,ex,ex_,exe,hta,img,ins,iso,isp,jar,jnlp,js,jse,lib,lnk,mde,msc,msi,msix,msixbundle,msp,mst,nsh,pif,ps1,scr,sct,shb,sys,vb,vbe,vbs,vhd,vxd,wsc,wsf,wsh,xll

On Linux the files referenced in mailTlsCertificate and mailTlsKey must be accessible to the pageseeder user. Ensure that files have r permission and all ancestor directories have rx permission for the correct group.

Properties that support multiple values must separate the values with a single comma and no spaces.
Where properties expect boolean flags, the allowable values are: true or false.
The default values in this document are for guidance and convenience only; for existing servers, refer to the actual global.properties before making any decisions.

Role override

These optional properties affect the default functionality assigned to a role.

save-release is now deprecated, use create-workflow instead.
