General Content Manager settings are located in the Content Manager XML configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager.config, which you can find on the Content Manager server in the config\ subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME%.
Disabling caching
| Description | Only disable caching if you have a pressing reason to do so. For example, you might want to disable caching temporarily for debugging purposes, to analyze the behavior of the system with or without caching. |
| XPath | /configuration/caching/@enable |
| Default if unspecified | true |
Cache memory size per TOM.NET process
| Description | Content Manager gives each process that loads TOM.NET its own cache. Examples of such processes are Tridion Service Host, the Publisher, the IIS worker process and any custom process that uses TOM.NET. Use this setting to restrict the amount of memory that each process can use for cached items. You cannot limit overall cache size, nor cache size for an individual process. |
| XPath | /configuration/caching/@instanceMemoryLimitMegabytes |
| Default if unspecified | 0 (no memory size limit) |
Cache expiration
| Description | The expiration period for cached Content Manager content, in minutes. If the cached content is not requested within this amount of time, Content Manager removes it to free up memory. |
| XPath | /configuration/caching/@slidingExpirationMinutes |
| Default if unspecified | 120 |
Credential cache expiration
| Description | The expiration period for Content Manager credentials, in seconds. Content Manager remembers credentials for this amount of time if, say, the LDAP server becomes somehow unavailable. If you change the rights of a User or Group, the change will only be applied after this period expires. |
| XPath | /configuration/tridion.security/@credentialCacheExpiration |
| Default if unspecified | 300 |
Hide organizational items if there is no access to content
| Description | If enabled, Folders and Structure Groups for which a user does not have read permission are hidden from that user. |
| XPath | /configuration/tridion.contentmanager.security/@hideOrganizationalItemsNoAccess |
| Default if unspecified | false |
Maximum number of Category enumeration
| Description | SDL Tridion Sites uses the value specified here to set the data type of Categories: if the number of Keywords inside a Category exceeds the number specified, then the data type is "string", otherwise the Category has an enumeration data type. Adjust this value as a performance optimization. |
| XPath | /configuration/tridion.contentmanager/repository/@categoryEnumerationLimit |
| Default if unspecified | 0 |
Preview path
| Description | The location of the preview path for the browser-based user interface. |
| XPath | /configuration/rendering/@previewPath |
| Default if unspecified | The Web\Preview subdirectory of %TRIDION_HOME% |
URLs without HTTP authentication
| Description | A list of URLs that should have anonymous access. Typical examples are the ClickOnce applications in the GUI, such as Template Builder. |
| XPath | /configuration/tridion.security/@noHttpAuthenticationForUrls |
| Default if unspecified | ((CoreService|ImportExportService)(\d{4}|\d{6})?\.svc/(streamUpload|wsHttp|wsFederationHttp|mex))|(TemplateBuilder)|(^/SDL)|(^/([^/]+\..+)?$)|(.*\/Themes)|(.*\/Xml\/?)(?!.*((ContactList-head\.xml)|(EclListItems\.xml)))|(.*\/backplaneHub)|(.*\/notificationHub) |
