4.2.1 General (Site Configuration)

This page discusses Aqua Data Server Site Configuration, which is done in the System Settings tab. All changes to system settings take effect immediately unless otherwise noted.

• Site URL
• System Email address
• System Email name
• Aqua Data Server Schema Version
• Subversion
• Restrict login to internal IP addresses
• Restrict login to HTTPS only
• AquaScript Execution
• Invite System Email Address
• Invite System Email Name

To modify System Settings, go to the Admin -> System Settings tab and click the Edit icon just beneath the tabs in the Action Bar.

Site URL

When Aqua Data Server needs to display a fully qualified URL to the user the system reads the protocol, domain name (or IP address) and port number from the Site URL field. For instance, if Aqua Data Server is sending a new user email, the email includes a password reset link. For the purpose of this example we will assume that the Site URL's dropdown value is "http://" and the text entered in the textbox is "192.168.100.1:8082". The password reset link in the email would look like this: "http://192.168.1001.:8082/app/reset-password".

The value that you specify for the Site URL should be the protocol (http or https), the domain name (or ip address) and port number that users will use to access Aqua Data Server. The Site URL field is used in the Project -> Settings -> Import Project Package page and while sending out new user and password reset emails.  You should use the following format for specifying a value for the Site URL field:

[Dropdown]: <either http:// or https://>
[Textbox]: <domain name or ip address of app server>:<port of app server> 

Example: Dropdown value of http:// and text of 192.168.100.1:8082.

When initially installed, Aqua Data Server will listen on port number 8082 by default.

System email address

All system generated emails, such as new user emails, use this email address for their "From" header. This email address is required.

System email name

All system generated emails use this for their "Name" in their "From" header.

Aqua Data Server Schema Version

This indicates what version of the Aqua Data Server database repository schema is used by this installation. This cannot be edited.

Subversion

Specifies the Subversion format version to be used by the Open API for local workspaces under Subversion revision control. Any change to this field takes effect only at the next server restart.

Restrict login to internal IP addresses

It is possible to restrict access to the login screen to only those users who are on an internal IP network. If this setting is enabled, it restricts logins to addresses from within the private IP address space: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255, 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255.

Restrict login to HTTPS only

With this option, the application accepts logins over HTTPS only. If a user tries to access the login page over HTTP, the user will be shown a "Page Not Found" error message. Please note that after the logging in via HTTPS, the user is able to manually change the URL back to http and the application will continue to function. If you want to completely disable HTTP access, you can do so by checking with your networking administrator and/or by modifying Tomcat's server.conf file to only listen over your HTTPS port.

Default value: No

AquaScript Execution

With this option disabled, you can prevent any user, including System Administrators, from executing an AquaScript from the Projects -> AquaScript tab. AquaScripts that are associated with the Project's workspace or with Scheduled Jobs are not impacted by this setting. You might decide to disable AquaScript execution in a production environment to help prevent unintentional development and testing of new AquaScripts.

Default value: Enabled

Invite System Email Address

This sets the email address From address for all invitations. The "From" field has the format: First Name Last Name via <Invite System Email Name> as the name in the From field and <Invite System Email Address> as the actual email address in the From field.

Invite System Email Name

This sets the email address Name displayed in the "From" header for all invitations. Not all SMTP servers support this. With Google Mail, for example, Google's SMTP server overrides the From field with the SMTP user's account info.

Maximum Days of Activity to Display

This sets the maximum number of days worth of activity that can display in Network Activities

Chart Offscreen Rendering

Sets the Offscreen Renderer as Default, Disabled, Software or Hardware GPU rendered.
