All settings of application are stored in one XML file: "HttpCommanderSettings.config" in the root application folder. You can use the Admin Panel → Setting tab (HTCOMNET/AdminPanel.aspx) to change the settings, or you can edit the file manually (not recommended). If you modify the configuration file manually, restart the application to apply changes!

Settings by groups:

Authentication type settings

Key Description Default value
AuthMode Authentication mode setting. This specifies the type of authentication users have to pass to log into HTTP Commander and the type of back-end account database.

There are 6 kinds of authentication:

  1. "Windows" authentication should be used if you want to use windows accounts for authentication in HTTP Commander (either local or Active Directory accounts). Account database: SAM database of the web server machine or Active Directory (server must be joined to domain).
    See Active Directory parameters and Active Directory, ADFS integrations manuals.
  2. "Forms" authentication is used if you want to manage accounts by yourself. Account database: custom XML file (Data\Accounts.xml).
  3. "Forms for Windows users" authentication relies on the same account database as "Windows" authentication, but, unlike the former, users enter their credentials in a web form. See WindowsUsersWithFormAuth parameter.
  4. "Novell EDirectory" authentication works with Novell EDirectory accounts. Account database: Novell EDirectory. When you select this authentication type, then you should specify the following parameters: EDirectory set to true, EDirectoryBindUserDN, EDirectoryBindUserPassword, LDAPContainer.
  5. "Shibboleth" should be used if you deployed Shibboleth system to manage access to HTTP Commander application. The file manager relies on Shibboleth system to perform authentication, HTTP Commander determines the current logged in user to decide the type of access to provide to application: what folders to map, whether Admin Panel will be available, and so on.
    For more info see Shibboleth integration manual and Shibboleth parameters.
  6. "Auth0" SSO & Token Based Authentication service. For more info see Auth0 integration manual, Auth0 parameters section and Auth0 site.

Note! Don't set Forms Authentication for Windows accounts and vice-versa.

See Manual configuration of authentication mode for instructions about changing authentication mode.

Note! This manual is for the Windows version only! If you need Forms authentication version, then at least download its User Manual. "Forms authentication" version download

"Windows"

Two factor authentication settings

Key Description Default value
TwoFactorAuthProvider Two factor authentication provider selection. Here you can select which provider should be used for 2-factor authentication.
Choose None to disable two factor authentication.
  • "None" - disable 2-factor authentication and use regular 1 step authentication process.
  • "Duo" - use DUO security as 2-factor authentication provider.
    To correctly configure Duo 2-factor authentication you will need to :
    1. Sign up for a Duo account.
    2. Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Applications.
    3. Click Protect an Application and locate Web SDK in the applications list. Click Protect this Application to get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname.
      You will need to put these values into appropriate settings of HTTP Commander: TwoFactorDuoIntegrationKey, TwoFactorDuoSecretKey, TwoFactorDuoAPIHostname,
      More info on DUO Getting started guide.

Note! 2-factor authentication setting applied for all users. There is no way to enable it for each user individually.

Note 2. 2-factor authentication would not be used for WebDAV and MSOFBA authentication processes. However WebDAV and "Edit in Office" feature will work as it does without 2-factor authentication enabled.
Also second step would not be displayed on native android application: user will be authenticated with one step as usual.

"None"
TwoFactorDuoIntegrationKey Value of Integration key from DUO security application settings. ""
TwoFactorDuoSecretKey Value of Secret key from DUO security application settings. ""
TwoFactorDuoAPIHostname Value of API Hostname key from DUO security application settings. ""
TwoFactorDuoAppKey Application key for DUO security authentication. You can set any string value here with minimum length of 40 symbols. By default it generated during first launch to a random string. To generate new string, set value to empty string. Minimum length is 40 characters. ""

Main settings

Key Description Default value
LicenseKey Put the license key here after purchase. If the key is not set the application will work in a trial mode. The trial mode allows not more than 10 sessions and shows a trial notification when a user logs on. If a user is not active during 60 minutes, the sessions will be ended. To terminate an existing session manually, you need to restart the application. ""
Administrators List of administrators' names, comma-separated. Any user can be an administrator if its name is in this list. Administrators can login to the Admin Panel ("AdminPanel.aspx" page) and Diagnostics ("Diagnostics.aspx") functionality of the HTTP Commander. You can also type group by "group:" prefix (each member of the group is Administrator) "Administrator,Admin,group:Administrators,group:Domain admins,group:Admins"
ShowDiagnosticsASPXOnlyForAdmins The key defines if Diagnostics.aspx page is available to all authenticated users or only to administrators (defined by Administrators parameter). You can disable the diagnostics page output from users if it shows info that you want to hide.
Note! By default it is available for all users! 		false
DataFolderPath Path to the folder with XML users and folders settings, and DB files with events, anonymous links, etc.. By default, it is stored in the HTCOMNET\Data folder. To prevent file download:
  • See FAQ: How do I protect configuration files
  • Or you can disable "read" permissions in IIS for this folder.
    In the IIS console select Data node inside "HTCOMNET" node and click Handler mappings in the right tab. Select StaticFile in the list and click Edit Feature Permissions link in the right tab. In the next dialog window, uncheck Read permissions.
    Screenshot
  • Or move this folder outside of the web site root. Copy the "Data" folder to a new path, like c:\, and set "c:\Data" value. Check NTFS permissions for new Data folder location.
"~/Data"
EnableChangePassword The key defines if users can change their own password.
For AD and Windows users Password Security Policy could be applied: there are password minimum age, length requirement, etc.. If new password does not meet specified requirement, error message will be displayed to user. Take a look at the screenshot below to check Domain Security Policy.
Screenshot 		true
LogEvents Key defines comma-separated list of events that will be logged. Set empty value to disable logging.
Available values:
View, Download, Upload, Create, Modify, Edit, Rename, Delete, Copy, Move, OfficeLock, OfficeUnLock, CreatePublic, Restore, Login, Logout, AntivirusScanning

See also LogRecordsMaxCount, AllowUsersWatchModifications parameters. 		"View,Download,Upload,Create,Modify,Edit,Rename,Delete,Copy,Move,OfficeLock,OfficeUnLock,CreatePublic,Restore,Login,Logout"
CreateRootFoldersIfNotExists Set true to create root folders automatically if it does not exist.
Applied only for paths with %USERNAME%, %LOGONUSER%, %USEREMAIL% or %USERID% patterns (see Setup folders in Admin Panel article). 		true
HideFilesWithAttributes The key defines if files with some attributes will be hidden for users.
Example: Hidden,System,ReadOnly,Encrypted - files and folders with attributes Hidden, System, Read-only or Encrypted are hidden. See also Folder list restrictions. 		""
ZipUnzipDefaultCodePage The key defines default code page for Zip archive. 850 is a code page for English-speaking and most European countries. If the files with names in your language are added to the ZIP with corrupted name, you need to modify this value. You can google for your region's code page.
See also ZipUnicodeFileNames parameter. 		850
ZipUnicodeFileNames The key defines using unicode file names for create Zip archives.
See also ZipUnzipDefaultCodePage 		true
ErrorsMaxCount Max size of records for errors file Data\Errors.xml 100
EmailNotification Notify about uploaded/modified/downloaded/created/deleted files/folders, public link creation.
Example:
Events: Upload,Modify,Download,Create,Delete,CreatePublic
When: OnSessionEnd
Emails: mike@mysite.com,jdoe@mysite.com
Users: admin,john
Groups: students,staff
Path: Demo folder 1\
Path: path to folder2\commonproject.doc
Path: ^Domain users demo folder\\folder1\\ (type "Regex")

Events is a comma-separated list of events, for which notification emails will be sent.
Available events: Upload,Modify,Download,Create,Delete,CreatePublic

When is a one of the OnSessionEnd or Immediate values, setting when notification emails about actions with files will go.

Emails is a comma-separated list of e-mail addresses that will get notification about events with files.

Users is a comma-separated list of users to monitor.

Groups is a comma-separated list of groups to monitor.

The application is monitoring events (upload/modify/download/create/delete) activity of a user if its name is listed in the user list or if a group it is a member of is listed in the groups list. If both users and groups lists are empty, then all users are monitored.

Path specify what folders and files to monitor.
Note: Path should be specified in HTTP Commander notation, not physical folder/file path.

There two types of paths: plain and regex. For plain paths you may specify either file or folder. To distinguish folder path from file path, a folder path should end with a backslash. When you specify file, for example, "share\dir1\file.txt", then monitor only that particular file. When you specify folder, for example, "share\", then monitor all files in that folder and all its subfolders. For regex paths, that path parameter should contain regular expression to match against file path. For example, "^share\\.*\.txt$" matches all file with ".txt extension in "share" folder and all its subfolders. For monitor of all folders you can add a path "^.*$" with Regex type.

You may specify Path parameter a number of times. The application monitors a file if it matches at least one of the path filters specified. If you do not specify a path filter, then all files are monitored.

Description of the example described above: if the users admin and john or any another user of students and staff groups are uploading (or-and modifying, downloading) files into (from) the Demo folder 1 or a path to folder2\commonproject.doc file or into (from) the folder matching the regular expression "^Domain users demo folder\\folder1\\", the notifications will be sent to the following e-mail addresses: mike@mysite.com and jdoe@mysite.com.

You need also to configure Mail Settings parameters and type your mail server, port and user if authentication is needed.

ApplicationName Application name for display in various messages (for example, in a email template when sending public links). You can type here your custom value like "ClassFiles". HTTP Commander
DomainName Url of the application. In case if HTTP Commander work in your internal network and accessible by your internal domain name, then some of features may not work, because they require access to HTTP Commander from internet.
Features which require global domain name are: public links, Zoho, Google Drive (documents viewer), Pixlr, Office Web Access (document viewer), ONLYOFFICE, Pixlr Image Editor, Adobe Creative Cloud Online Image Editor (Aviary), ShareCad.org.

Set absolute url (with global domain name) to HTTP Commander application including path to application folder.
Example: "http://www.example.com/HTCOMNET/".
Set an empty string (default value) for this parameter if you want to use the current HTTP Commander url (used by users to open HTTP Commander in browser). 		""
ZipLevelCompression Level of ZIP compression (from 0 to 9 inclusively). 6
ShowControlNavigationFolders To show (true) or hide (false) buttons (back, forward, resent folders) control of navigation according to folders. true
EnableAutoLogoutWhenSessionTimedOut If this parameter is enabled, in case of inactivity during lifetime of session the Default page will redirect to the Logout page ("Logout.aspx").
Note 1. Value of session timeout can be changed in the Web.config file: 
...
<configuration>
    ...
    <system.web>
        ...
        <sessionState timeout="60" />
...
By default timeout of session 60 minutes (1 hour). See sessionState timeout parameter.
Note 2. Activity of the user is considered execution of ajax-server requests. 		false
TemporaryFolder Temporary folder. It is used to store temporary file, such as thumbnails, intermediary video files created in video conversion process, ZIP files for download, and other.
When the parameter is blank, not valid or folder not exists, the system temporary folder (usually C:\Windows\Temp) is used.
Note. Be sure to set the NTFS permissions to read and write for application pool account and end-user Windows accounts.
You can also change the path to the temporary ASP.NET files, including temporary folders for standard ASP.NET upload in Web.config file in system.web section for compilation tag specify tempDirectory attribute with the path to the desired temporary folder. For example: 
...
<configuration>
    ...
    <system.web>
        ...
        <compilation targetFramework="4.7.2" tempDirectory="d:\temp\" />
...
By default, if tempDirectory not specified, used folder 
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework[64]\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files

For more info see Temporary folder description. 		""
SearchMethodOfFiles A method of searching for files and folders.
Available values:
  • Disabled: the ability to search for files, folders is completely disabled;
  • OnlyWindowsSearch: only the Windows Search service used to search files/folders
  • NotUseWindowsSearch: use only the standard method (recursive listing subdirectories with a comparison pattern) to search files and fodlers. ;
  • FirstTryWindowsSearchThanStandard (by default): use Windows Search Service firstly, and then if nothing is found, or found less than the expected value, the search is carried out by standard method (recursive listing subdirectories with a comparison pattern).
If you enable the ability to search for files/folders (the value is not equal to Disabled), then on the main page at the top right of the file list will be available quick search fields to search files by name (and, if available, by contents).
Also you can add a toolbar button Search (parameter ToolbarButtons1 or ToolbarButtons2; by defualt, Search button is included) to be able to open the search window from toolbar.

Note! Windows Search allows you to quickly find files based on their content. To do this, you must install the Windows Search Service feature and add the desired folder in the list of indexed locations (Control Panel → Indexing Options). See Windows Search manual.
See also parameters SearchCriterionsOfFiles, MaxSearchResultsPerPage in UI section and hidden parameter SearchDepthInFolders, EnableWindowsSearchQueryBuilder in Main section.

Note that the Windows Search Service for file Details looks for such system properties of files as Title, Author, Subject, Tags, etc .., unlike the standard search, which searches for metadata fields (from fields in DetailsFields). 		"FirstTryWindowsSearchThanStandard"
SearchDepthInFolders Search Depth in Folders.
Possible values:
  • AllFolders (default) - Search in root folders and in all subfolders
  • RootOnly - Search in root folders only (without subfolders)
  • RootWithOneNestedLevel - Search in top folders (root) and subfolders of the first level
  • RootWithTwoNestedLevel - Search in top folders (root) and subfolders of the first and second level
  • AllWithoutRoot - Search in all subfolders, except root folder
  • WithoutRootAndOneNestedLevel - Search in subfolders of the first level, excluding the root folder
  • WithoutRootAndTwoNestedLevel - Search in subfolders of the first and second level, excluding the root folder
Note! When searching Anywhere, the root folders are the top level folders displayed in the tree, the current folder is searched for in the Current folder, and accordingly, the nesting levels are taken relative to it.

Main settings in Web.config file

Key Description Default value
sessionState/timeout Inactive session life timeout. If a user is not active, the session will be ended after specified number of minutes.
Also enable (set to "true") EnableAutoLogoutWhenSessionTimedOut parameter. 		60 (1 hour)
httpRuntime/maxRequestLength Maximum file size (file upload limit), in bytes. By default, it is 2 GB (maximum value). 2147483647 (2 Gb)
requestLimits/maxAllowedContentLength The key is the same as httpRuntime maxRequestLength but for IIS 7+. The value is in bytes. By default, it is 4 GB (maximum value). 4294967295 (4 Gb)
mailSettings The mailSettings section defines your SMTP server settings. These settings are used to recover user password, email notifications and "send email" features. This is built-in .NET section. You can read about the settings at MSDN site or see the example below: 
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="noreply@yoursite.com">
    <network defaultCredentials="false" host="mail.yoursite.com"
             port="25" userName="" password="" />
</smtp>
Leave userName and password parameters empty if server does not requires authentication.

Note 1. You can enable SSL for email feature. Add enableSsl="true" to <network ../> section.

Note 2. You can use external smtp like Gmail. Example: 
<mailSettings>
    <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="example@gmail.com">
        <network defaultCredentials="false" host="smtp.gmail.com"
                 userName="example" password="example"
                 port="587" enableSsl="true"/>
    </smtp>
</mailSettings>
If you had problems when using smtp.gmail.com server please read information: Allowing less secure apps to access your account.

Note 3. Some of these settings can be changed in Admin Panel.

Active Directory groups and home folder support parameters

These parameters determine how to read user groups membership and home folder from Active Directory (or Novell eDirectory). The first way is to read data dynamically from Active Directory (AD) i.e. application makes explicit request to AD when user logs on. The second way is to read information from Static File (all info stored in XML file). By default application reads data dynamically. You may switch to static file if you have problems with AD. Use ADAccountsFilePath parameter to specify file path (it will work in 100% cases).

Parameters below define dynamical reading info from Active Directory:

Key Description Default value
Read­Windows­Users­Group­Membership This parameter enables using Active Directory to query information about group membership, home folders, and the like. You have to enable this parameter to use %HOME% placeholder in folder paths.
Available values:
  • True - allows reading information from Active Directory.
    Application uses current user identity (logged in user) to connect to Active Directory.
  • False - the groups and home directory info is not read. It makes the application work faster. But if you created folder for group or %HOME% folder then such folders won't be in the list.
You can test if the selected method works successfully in Diagnostics in Admin panel ("HTCOMNET/Diagnostics.aspx"). You should see the list of logon users' groups. 		true
Use­Universal­Way­To­Read­Groups This parameter determines whether to read user's groups from Active Directory or examine security token.

When this parameter is false, HTTP Commander sends an LDAP or WinNT request to the specified server, depending on the value of LDAPContainer, to detect which groups the user is a member of. The LDAP provider returns both security and distribution groups from Active Directory. WinNT provider returns only security groups.

When Use­Universal­Way­To­Read­Groups parameter is set to true, the application uses the access token of the logged in user to detect which groups the user is a member of and does not send any additional requests. This method detects only security groups. The second method works considerably faster than the previous one since no supplementary requests are issued.

We recommend you enable this parameter unless you need distribution groups.

Note that you still need to assign the LDAPContainer parameter a correct value, to get the list of users, groups, detect users' home folders and so on.

true
LDAP­Container This parameter specifies how the application should bind to Active Directory or Novell eDirectory to obtain various information about the users. HTTP Commander requests the following information from directory service: list of all users and groups, what groups a user is member of, home folder of a user and so on. Also, HTTP Commander uses the parameter to change user's password.

If UseUniversalWayToReadGroups parameter is set to true, HTTP Commander uses other method to detect the user's groups, see UseUniversalWayToReadGroups for details.

Note! After changing this parameter, run Diagnostics ("Diagnostics.aspx" page) to check if groups and/or home folder are detected correctly.

Supported values:
  • "" (empty string) - The application uses the WinNT provider for local accounts and the LDAP provider for domain accounts.
  • "winnt" - The application uses the WinNT provider. This method does not support nested groups and global groups.
  • "auto" - The application uses the LDAP provider. It uses the default naming context (value of the defaultNamingContext attribute of the root DSE object) as the starting point. If the LDAP search fails, the application falls back to WinNT provider.
  • "ldap" - The application uses the LDAP provider. It uses the domain default-naming context (value of the defaultNamingContext attribute of the root DSE object) as the starting point.
  • "root" - The application uses the LDAP provider. It uses the domain root-naming context (value of the rootDomainNamingContext attribute of the root DSE object) as the starting point.
  • "custom LDAP path" - The application uses the LDAP provider. You can specify the domain name or the Domain Controller name where HTTP Commander will read the information from.

    Note. This is the only value type supported in Novell EDirectory authentication mode.

    Examples:

    • "LDAP://192.168.1.134" (192.168.1.134 is domain controller's IP address)
    • for domain "teachers.mycollege.edu" LDAP path is
      "LDAP://DC=teachers,DC=mycollege,DC=edu".
      You can limit access for users and groups only from one Organization Unit like:
      "LDAP://OU=staff,DC=HOMEELEMENT-IT,DC=COM"
      ("staff" OU of "homeelement-it.com" domain)
    • "LDAP://teachers.mycollege.edu"
    • "LDAPS://teachers.mycollege.edu" (only for Active Directory)
    To use SSL/TLS protocol to encrypt the network traffic with Active Directory server, use the LDAPS prefix. This option is available only for Active Directory, Novell eDirectory authentication mode always utilizes SSL/TLS protocol. When specifying this option, an SSL certificate must be installed and available in Active Directory. Make sure that the certificate is valid, trusted by the web server machine, and the server name specified in the LDAP path matches the subject of certificate, otherwise the LDAP connection will fail.
  • Multi-domain value for supporting a number of domains. For example,
    "STAFFDOMAIN@LDAP://192.168.1.2­|­STUDENTSDOMAIN@LDAP://192.168.1.3­|­WEBSRV@WinNT://192.168.1.15­|­LDAP://192.168.1.18/OU=staff,DC=HOMEELEMENT-IT,DC=COM"

    This example specifies two domains, one local account database, and one domain controller. Value format is: LOGONDOMAINPREFIX1@LDAPPATH1­|­LOGONDOMAINPREFIX2@LDAPPATH2­|­LDAPPATH3­|­etc. Multi-domain value consists of a number of components separated with vertical bar ('|') character. Each component may be a Ldap or WinNT path or has "DOMAIN@LDAPPATH" form. The Ldap/WinNT path to use is selected based on the domain/machine name of the current user. When the current user is logged in with domain account, FQDN and NetBIOS name of the domain is used. When the current user is logged in with local machine account, NetBIOS name of the Web Server machine is used. When component has a form of Ldap/WinNT path, domain/machine name of the current user is matched against the server portion of the path. When the component has "DOMAIN@LDAPPATH" form, the domain/machine name of the current user is matched against "DOMAIN" part. In both cases, the comparison is case-insensitive.

    If the user logs into the application as "STAFFDOMAIN\Mike", the application uses "LDAP://192.168.1.2" as the provider path (Staff domain). If the user logs in as "STUDENTSDOMAIN\John", the application uses "LDAP://192.168.1.3" as the provider path (Students domain). If the user logs in with a web server local user name like "WEBSRV\Chris", "WinNT://192.168.1.15" is used as the provider.
This parameter supports the %DOMAINNAME% placeholder. It is replaced with the FQDN domain name of the current user if the user logged in with a domain account, or with the NetBIOS machine name if the user logged in with a local machine account. 		""

LDAP path structure

The LDAPContainer parameter may explicitly contain Ldap path or Ldap path may be a part of multi-domain value assigned to this parameter. The text below describes the format of Ldap path. 

LDAP[S]://<server>/<object name>

The Ldap path starts with a provider name LDAP or LDAPS which distinguishes it from other paths that HTTP Commander supports. It is recommended to write ldap word with all capital letters despite the fact HTTP Commander process it in a case-insensitive way. LDAPS is a shortcut notation to request SSL/TLS encryption of the connection.

The server part specifies what server we wish to use. It may take the following values: The DNS-style name may be: You may omit the server name (called serverless binding). For example, Ldap path may look like this 
LDAP://­DC=mydc,­DC=mydomain,­DC=com
Note. When you omit the server, you have to omit the slash following the server part as well. The path LDAP:///­DC=mydc,­DC=mydomain,­DC=com is invalid.

If we do not specify a specific server name, either with serverless binding or by using the name of the domain, the Windows runtime will try to find an appropriate Active Directory server for us. By avoiding the specification of a particular server, we reduce the chances of overloading that server with requests, or of complete failure if that particular domain controller is down for maintenance or otherwise unavailable. This leads to more scalable and robust applications.

How does Windows runtime know what domain to use when it is not specified in Ldap path? It infers a domain to be used based on the security context of the current thread. When impersonation is turned on, the security context of the thread will the security context of the logged in user, otherwise that will be context of the application pool. If the account is an Active Directory domain account (and not a local machine account), then the domain of that account is used to find a domain controller. The serverless binding does not work at all under a local machine account.

You can safely omit server name in the Ldap path provided that: We discourage the use of serverless binding in HTTP Commander. Consider using the DNS name of the domain in place of the server name. This option takes advantage of automatically selecting the available domain controller, but does not depend on the current security context.

A lot of choices are available to specify the server part in Ldap path. Note however that the number of options is more limited if Ldap server requires SSL. The name you specify in Ldap path must match the one specified in server certificate. In case of mismatch, the bind may fail. We recommend the use of a fully qualified DNS name of the server or domain as it is most likely specified in server's certificate.

You may specify the port number if your server listen for Ldap requests on nonstandard port. Append the port number to the server name. For example: 

LDAP://10.10.11.100:50000/­OU=somecontainer,­O=mydirectory

object name part is Distinguished Name of the root of Ldap searches. You may omit this part of Ldap path. For example, LDAP://­mydc.mydomain.com. When DN is omitted, the application search in the whole directory.

Recommendations on configuring Active Directory parameters

Always set Use­Universal­Way­To­Read­Groups to true unless you plan to work with distribution groups. When this parameter is turned on, the list of user's groups contains security groups but misses the distribution groups.

For Active Directory accounts, assign LDAPContainer to "LDAP://<fully qualified DNS name of the domain>", for example, "LDAP://demo.element-it.com". We recommend against specifying name or IP address of any particular Domain controller on place of Ldap server. Windows takes care of finding an appropriate server to perform the request, it tries to balance the load among available servers.

For local accounts, assign LDAPContainer to "WinNT://<server-name>". Here <server-name> is the name of the web server hosting HTTP Commander.

Parameter below defines static way to read AD info:

Key Description Default value
ADAccountsFilePath Path to the static file with Active Directory users and groups info. This is the alternative way to read AD info. This way will work in 100% cases because the administrator can run the ADManager utility at the domain controller server. Therefor, all info will be read and stored in the file. This file includes all needed info about users and groups from Active Directory. Type here the path to the local file or the file stored at the remote server. If the application finds this file, then it will use the info from this file without requests to Active Directory.

Note! Static file includes only users/groups created since the last ADManager utility execution. If you need the file to be updated all the time, then you can add ADManager execution to the Windows scheduler. For more info related to ADManager work, run it and view the info at the main interface. The ADManager utility can be downloaded here (recommended) or from the Element-IT site.
Type an empty string value if you don't want to use a static file (use dynamical direct requests to AD). 		""

Other Active Directory parameters:

Key Description Default value
CheckPasswordExpiredPeriod Specifies the time period in days when to start notifying the user about approaching password expiration. The password expiration monitoring applies to Windows accounts only. For example, if you set this parameter to 7, then HTTP Commander will calculate the number of days till your password will expire. If the calculated value is less than or equal to 7 days, the application shows a warning box at the user logon. The message states that the user's password is about to expire and indicates the number of days left. Set this parameter to 0 for disable the check. 0
DefaultDomain Default domain: domain name or NetBIOS machine name to append to unqualified account name. When user or group name is specified without the domain part, HTTP Commander appends this string to the name before trying to resolve the name. Value of this parameter may be the Fully Qualified Domain Name of domain, the NetBIOS domain name, or the NetBIOS name of the web server machine.
Name resolutions occurs in a number of places in HTTP Commander:
  • Application validates the user's credentials entered in the web form (in "Forms with Windows Users" authentication mode).
  • HTTP Commander's administrator assigns folders to users and groups in the Admin Panel.
  • Application reads the configuration files that include account names (in "Windows" and "Forms with Windows Users" authentication mode).

You may use the following predefined columns: 
size, labels, type, datemodified, datecreated, dateaccessed, downloads
In addition you may use metadata columns to display metadata defined in AvailableDetailsTitles parameter.
Thus, if the visibility flag is not specified, the column will be displayed (which corresponds to visibility True).
If the column width is not specified, then the following values (in pixels)​​:
  • size, downloads — 70
  • labels, type, datemodified, datecreated, dateaccessed — 140

Thanks to WebDAV technology, users should not care about the difference between local documents and documents in HTTP Commander. Microsoft Office and free OpenOffice, LibreOffice allow the user to work with more than 100 document formats (text, tables, images, presentations). It is possible to convert one format to another and save new documents on the server. This feature works in any browser and with both Windows and Mac OS. Microsoft Office 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 are supported.

Using online services to work with documents

Only a web browser is required to work with documents via online services. No other application is needed on the client machine, that is you do not need MS Office or OpenOffice/LibreOffice installed on your machine to work with documents.

IdentifierWebDav A virtual folder in HTTP Commander's root folder for WebDAV requests. If the web folder manager is published under http://www.yourcompany.com/htcomnet/, then the following URL identifies WebDAV's root folder: http://www.yourcompany.com/htcomnet/hcwebdav/.

HTTP Commander intercepts all HTTP(S) requests for that folder and processes them according to WebDAV protocol. If you have a physical folder with the same name in the application's root folder, its content will not be accessible via HTTP protocol. Presence of the identically named physical folder in no way affects correct functioning of WebDAV feature in HTTP Commander.

Normally you should not change this parameter. Make sure, however, that HTTP Commander URL does not contain segments matching the value of this parameter (string comparison is case-insensitive). For example, if you've published the application under http://www.yourcompany.com/hcwebdav/HttpCommander/, you need to change the value of IdentifierWebDav parameter, otherwise WebDAV feature will not function. You may also decide to change the value of this parameter for aesthetic reasons.

Restrictions on the value of this parameter The parameter should not contain slash and backslash characters. It is recommended to limit the range of used characters to latin letters, digits and characters '_', '-'.

Note! If you renamed value of this parameter (or updated from older version), then add (or check) to Web.config file before the opening tag <system.webServer> next lines: 

<location path="your_webdav_identifier">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>

Absolute URL. For example, "http://myserver.com/app1/HttpCommander" or "https://myserver.com/app1/HttpCommander".

Relative URL. The URL of the web application root directory containing HTTP Commander root directory plays the role of base URL. For example, "http://myserver.com/app1" is URL of the web application (IIS terminology) and HTTP Commander root folder is located in ElementIt/HttpCommander subfolder of the web application root folder, then the virtual path should be "~/ElementIt/HttpCommander". The absolute URL of the HTTP Commander root directory is "http://myserver.com/app1/ElementIt/HttpCommander".

MethodCalcPermissionsForPath Method of calculation of the permissions for the folder path.
Possible values:
  • CombineWithOrFromAllParents (by default) - permissions on a folder are evaluated using the 'OR' union, among the parent paths available to the user, including the path for which the permissions are calculated.

    For example, if for the user assigned two folders 'Foder1' (path 'd:\folder\') and 'Folder2' (path 'd:\folder\subfolder\'), then the calculation of permissions for the 'Folder2' will be selected as much as possible maximized resolution between 'Folder1' and 'Folder2' (because 'Folder1' is the parent of 'Folder2'), ie if the action 'Create' from the user folder 'Folder1' is allowed, but for 'Folder2' - is prohibited, as the result it will be allowed for 'Folder2' .
  • CombineWithOrFromNearestParents - undertake permit (available for the current user) from the nearest parent.
    Use this method if you have configured different folders with the same (or, if one is embedded in the other) paths, and if necessary to take into account their different permissions for users.
See also Folder permissions. 		CombineWithOrFromAllParents
