General settings

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

Procedure

  1. Start the MMC Snap-in by selecting Programs > SDL Tridion > SDL Tridion Content Manager configuration in the Microsoft Windows Start menu.
  2. Navigate to the General settings section.
  3. Configure the following settings:
    SettingValue
    Credential Cache ExpirationThe expiration period for LDAP credentials. The Content Manager remembers credentials for this amount of time if the LDAP server becomes somehow unavailable.
    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 pathThe file name and/or path of your management system license file.
    Maximum depth of circular references allowedThe maximum number of times that a Component link can be traversed; defaults to the value 50. This setting only applies to deprecated VBScript/JScript templates.
    Maximum number of Category EnumerationSDL Tridion 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% (defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\).
    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.
