Changing the external server address

When users create and edit file assignments in SDL Trados Studio 2015 and later, SDL GroupShare 2015 and later sends out email notifications to the users assigned to work on the project files. These notifications emails include the project server hyperlink address that enables users to access the Online Editor and open assignment files directly from the notification email.

Procedure

  1. In the Trados GroupShare Console navigation tree, select Trados GroupShare > Settings.
  2. In the Settings pane, under Project Server Settings, type in an External Server Address.
  3. In the Actions pane, select Apply Changes to save the change.

Enabling access to the Online Editor via custom URLs

Due to enhanced security policies, the default Trados GroupShare configuration allows you to access the Online Editor only via the link set up as External Server Address. For convenience, we recommend that you use this URL to access the Online Editor. However, you can enable access to the Online Editor via custom URLs.

About this task

To configure custom URLs for access to the Online Editor, you need to update the CorsAllowedOrigins configuration in the Sdl.EditorService.Host.exe.config file , located by default in C:\Program Files\SDL\SDL Server\Editor Service.

Procedure

  1. Add a comma separated list of all the origins you use to access the Online Editor or the Trados GroupShare website. An origin is the scheme (protocol), hostname (domain) and port of the URL(s) that you use to access the Online Editor or the Trados GroupShare website. You can also optionally add the value that you set up as the External Server Address.
    • Examples:
      • <add key="CorsAllowedOrigins" value= "https://origin1.com,https://origin2.com" />
      • <add key="CorsAllowedOrigins" value= "http://groupshare.company.corp,https://groupshare" />
      • <add key="CorsAllowedOrigins" value= "http://origin2:81" />
    While not recommended due to security considerations, you can also allow all origins by removing <add key="CorsAllowedOrigins" value= "" /> from the same configuration file.
  2. Restart the Editor Service after applying the changes.
