Configuring Site Settings

Navigate to Main MenuAdminSite Settings and click on Edit Settings under Actions. This will open up a form with multiple tabs. Interesting settings on each tab is described below under the corresponding tab.

Celoxis URL	This is the URL that will be used to access Celoxis.
Data Directory Path	The path to the directory that stores uploaded files, search indices and other control files.
Max size of file upload	The maximum size of a file that can be uploaded.
Google Client Id	If you want to integrate with Google Drive, you will need to enter your ID here. Read this chapter on how to obtain one.
Chrome Path	The absolute path name of the Google Chrome executable. This is used for printing to PDF. Read this chapter for more information.

Please contact your system administrator for correct values. Also, read this chapter on how to troubleshoot issues with your email server.

Protocol	We strongly recommend using either IMAP or IMAP+SSL.
Host	The host name of the IMAP or POP3 server.
Plussed Symbol	The sub-addressing symbol recognized by your SMTP server. For example, sending an email to celoxis+foobar@gmail.com caused the email to be delivered to celoxis@gmail.com. Celoxis can then read the `foobar` and perform actions based on this control information. For Sendmail, Gmail or Postfix use `+`. For Qmail use `-`. For Microsoft Exchange do not choose plussed addressing, in which case the control information will be appended to the subject of emails to enable routing. Plussed addressing is very effective. If your email server does not support this, then instead of not using plussed addressing, consider using Gmail.

Send emails in background	If checked, users don't have to wait for the emails to be sent to complete the operation. This considerably speed things up. The cost, however, is that if the email sending fails for some reason, the user performing the operation is not notified of the failure. If your email server is unreliable, then instead of turning this option on, consider using Gmail.
Host	The host name of the SMTP server.
Default Sender Name/Email	Emails sent from Celoxis will have the sender name/email to these values.

Is Microsoft ADS	Whether you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service
Authenticate clients via LDAP	If checked, client accounts are also authenticated via LDAP, else they will be authenticated based on credentials entered in Celoxis.
LDAP URL	Your LDAP URL e.g. ldap://lap.acme.com:389
Base DN	The node of the LDAP server from where Celoxis will search the users.
Search Attribute	The attribute in the LDAP user entry that holds the user's login name. In ADS, this is always sAMAccountName. This value must match against the login name for that user in Celoxis.
Admin DN	If Celoxis needs to authenticate with your LDAP server to search for users, then enter that user's login name for your LDAP server.
Admin Password	The Admin Password
Principal Pattern	If Celoxis can directly authenticate the user against your LDAP server using a pattern, then enter that pattern here. {username} will be replaced with the login name. (Not applicable, if using Microsoft Active Directory.)
