Configuring the Content Manager server
After you have installed the Content Manager you need to configure various parts of the Content Manager to get it up and running.
Note: The Content Manager Explorer and the Monitoring Server require no server-side configuration.
- Impersonation user identity
If you installed the (deprecated) Business Connector, the WebDAV Connector or the Visio Workflow Server, the installer created a Windows impersonation user. This impersonation user is trusted to take on the identify of (that is, to impersonate) an arbitrary Content Manager user. You can use the same impersonation user for all three interfaces. - Configuring the Content Manager Explorer Web site
Check the redirection key, and execute a Microsoft Knowledge Base article, to configure the Web site. - Configuring IIS and Content Manager for large file uploads
IIS and Content Manager default settings allow users to upload only relatively small files to a Web site (30 MB or less). Using the Content Manager often requires the ability to upload larger files. To enable larger uploads, edit your Application Host configuration file and the web.config file of your SDL Tridion Web site. - Configuring funneling
You may want to funnel different Web sites with different ports and/or host headers to the same Content Manager Explorer location. - Configuring a different port for search
The default port used for non-secure connections is 8983; for SSL connections, 8443. These may be in use by other Java applications. You can change these ports. - Optimizing the search collection
Regularly optimize your search collection to keep your search collection up-to-date and fast. - Scheduling cleanup of upload files and preview files
By default, the Content Manager does not clean up files that users upload to Content Manager, nor files that Content Manager generates when users preview content. Schedule regular cleanups of the folders that contain those files, which default to web\WebUI\WebRoot\Upload and web\Preview.
