Upgrading the configuration for UGC

The User Generated Content Server Role (also known as UGC) requires some changes to its configuration.

Procedure

  1. Access the configuration folder of the User Generated Content Community Web Service Web application (the Web service for visitors). The folder is bin\config for .NET, or WEB-INF/classes/ for Java.
  2. In this location, open the Ambient Data Framework configuration file cd_ambient_conf.xml for editing.
  3. If you currently do not have a Security section in the file, insert it now, directly below the Configuration opening tag.
  4. In the Security section, directly above the </Security> closing tag, add the following elements:
    <WhiteList>
    	<IPAddresses>
    		<Ip>WEBSITE_IP_ADDRESS</Ip>
    	</IPAddresses>
    </WhiteList>
    <GloballyAcceptedClaims>
    	<Claim Uri="taf:tracking:id"/>
    </GloballyAcceptedClaims>

    where WEBSITE_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of the Web site on which your visitors can leave comments.

  5. Save and close cd_ambient_conf.xml and restart the Web service Web application.
