General settings

You can configure various settings for the Content Manager in the General settings section of SDL Tridion Sites Content Manager configuration.

Procedure

  1. In the config\ subdirectory of %TRIDION_HOME%, open Tridion.ContentManager.config for editing.
  2. Navigate to the General settings section.
  3. Configure the following settings:
    SettingValue
    Credential Cache ExpirationThe expiration period for Content Manager credentials. The 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.
    Hide organizational items if no access to contentIf enabled, Folders and Structure Groups for which a user does not have read permission are hidden from that user; defaults to the value 0, that is, disabled.
    License file name or pathIgnore this setting; it has no effect.
    Maximum depth of circular references allowedIgnore this setting; it has no effect.
    Maximum number of Category EnumerationSDL 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.
    Preview PathThe location of the preview path for the Web-based interface; this defaults to the Web\Preview subdirectory of %TRIDION_HOME%.
    Temporary PathThe general temporary storage path; defaults to the Windows temporary directory as specified in the Windows TEMP environment variable.
    Urls without HTTP authenticationA list of URLs that should have anonymous access. Typical examples are the ClickOnce applications in the GUI, such as Template Builder.
    WebDAV URL prefixThe prefix used for WebDAV URLs; defaults to /webdav.
  4. Restart IIS and COM+ to ensure updated settings are used—for performance reasons, the processes that use the MMC Snap-in settings cache them in memory.
