3.3 Configuring General Settings

SSPR allows you to configure basic settings to control functionality and behavior of the system.

  1. In Configuration Editor, click Settings > Application.

  2. Configure the following general settings:

    Field

    Description

    Site URL

    Specify the URL to access SSPR. This URL is used in email and other user communications. For example, https://password.example.com/sspr.

    Include the context path in the URL. For example, /SSPR.

    If blank, the system attempt to auto-detect the URL, however some network configuration prevent SSPR from accurately determining the URL.

    Forward URL

    After completing any activity, which does not require a logout, users are forwarded to this URL.

    You can override this URL for any user session by adding a forwardURL parameter to the HTTP request. If blank, the system forwards the user to the application menu.

    Logout URL

    Specify a URL to which SSPR redirects users after logout. If the user accesses the site through a Web authentication gateway, configure this URL to match the gateway's logout URL to prevent authentication errors, intruder lockouts, and other issues.

    You can set Logout URL to any relative or absolute URL. When the user's browser requests this URL, the SSPR session will have already been invalidated.

    You can override this URL for any user session by adding a logoutURL parameter to any HTTP request during the session.

    Idle Timeout Seconds

    Specify the duration of an authenticated session in seconds after which the session times out.

    Locales (Languages) and Flags

    It displays the list of available locales. The code is in two parts separated by two colons. The first part is the browser locale code and the second part is the ISO country code. The ISO code is used for the flag value.

    Locale Cookie Age

    Specify the duration (in seconds) up to which SSPR must remember a user's locale preferences. Anytime a browser's default locale setting is changed, a cookie will be stored in the browser remembering that setting for the duration mentioned in this setting.

    LocalDB Location (Advanced)

    Specify the location of the LocalDB directory. If you specify a relative path, it is considered relative to the servlet's WEB-INF directory.

    HTTP Proxy

    Specify the URL of the HTTP proxy server. If the value is not provided then proxy server is not used.

    For an http proxy server, use the http://serverame:3128 format.

    For an authenticated proxy server, use the http://username:password@servername:3128 format.

    App Property Overrides

    You can change the application properties. This setting must be used only when a support expert asks you to change the properties of the application.

  3. Click the Save icon to save the configuration.
