Property Description

add_csrf_token_header_to_external_responses

Panel

borderColor	#0081C0
titleColor	#0081C0

This setting was introduced in XperienCentral version R33.

When enabled, an X-CSRF-Token header is included in the response to GET requests from external domains, which must be used in a subsequent POST or PUT request. The exposed_headers and allowed_http_headers settings in the corsfilter section (below) must also be set to "X-CSRF-Token". See /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/24718337 for more information.

Note that each cycle must be able to finish before the next begins. The Crontab schedule used is a variant of the standard UNIX Crontab scheduler with a "seconds" field prefixed to the beginning. For complete information on scheduling jobs in XperienCentral, see Scheduling Jobs.

contentindex_queue_reindex_schedule The Crontab schedule that dictates the triggering of a full background index. This should happen no more then once a day, preferably at the time that website activity is at its lowest (typically at night).

password_min_distance Password minimum distance. Specifies the extent to which a string to be used as a password must differ from any of the banned passwords. Take the following example: the string "Administrator" is banned as a password. If the minimum distance is 2, then the allowed strings to be used as a password must differ in at least two ways from "Administrator". The password "Administrat0r" (using a zero "0" instead of an "o") is unacceptable because it differs in only one way from "Administrator".

titleColor	#0081C0

This setting was introduced in XperienCentral version 10.22.0.

Specifies whether to clear error messages from a form session if the visitor clicks the [Back] button. For example, consider the following scenario:

A visitor fills in the fields in step 1 of a form and submits it.
On step 2, the visitor does not fill in a required field and submits the step. An error message appears informing the visitor that a required field has not been filled in and they do not proceed to step 3.
The visitor clicks the [Back] button and returns to step 1.
The visitor resubmits step 1 and proceeds to step 2.

With this option enabled, the visitor will not see an error message on step 2. With this option disabled, the visitor will see the error message upon returning to step 2.

formsengine_enable_sanitation Enables sanition for Interactive Forms.

formsengine_prehandling_cachetimeout To ensure good performance for interactive forms, a cache is maintained that defines where they are located. This setting defines the number of seconds that the interactive forms cache lasts.

formsengine_prehandling_check_blocks Specifies whether to prehandle forms on page sections. Because the creation of the prehandling cache can have a negative effect on performance, GX Software recommends that this setting be switched off unless you need to prehandle forms on page sections.

formsengine_prehandling_check_mediaitems Specifies whether to prehandle Content Repository items on page sections. Because the creation of the prehandling cache can have a negative effect on performance, GX Software recommends that this setting be switched off unless you need to prehandle Content Repository items on page sections.

formsengine_sanitation_elements

Specifies which HTML elements are allowed within an interactive form value. For example, if you add "p" then that allows the HTML <p> tag. In addition to configuring attributes and protocols globally, you can also scope it at the element level. The syntax for the formsengine_sanitation_elements value is:

[element]:[attribute]|[attribute]

For example,

div:id|data

allows <div id="99" data="xx">.

formsengine_sanitation_protocol Specifies which HTML protocols are allowed within any HTML element within an interactive form value. For example, if you add "href", then <a href="https://www.cnn.com"> would be allowed if "a" is also allowed as a protocol.

formsengine_session_cleaner_schedule Specifies the number of seconds between which a check will be done to see whether there are any timed out form sessions. This setting is tied to the following setting (forms_session_timeout).

formsengine_session_timeout Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, after which an Interactive Forms session will time out if a website visitor remains idle. For example, if a website visitor starts filling out a form and proceeds through one or more steps and then does nothing, the session will time out after the specified number of minutes. The visitor will be redirected to a "session expired" page when he or she attempts to proceed further after a timeout has occurred.

`elements`	Specifies which HTML elements are allowed within an interactive form value. For example, if you add "p" then that allows the HTML `<p>`. In addition to configuring attributes and protocols globally, you can also scope it at the element level. The syntax for the formsengine_sanitation_elements value is: `[element]:[attribute]\|[attribute]` For example, `div:id\|data` allows `<div id="99" data="xx">`.
`protocols`	Specifies which HTML protocols are allowed within any HTML element within an interactive form value. For example, if you add "href", then `<a href="https://www.cnn.com">` would be allowed if "a" is also allowed as a protocol.
`exclude_from_sanitation_names`	Some text within a form value are HTML-like but are not balanced meaning they do not contain both an open and close tag ("<GX>" for example). Such text can be excluded from sanitation and as such will be left untouched. To exclude "<GX>" for example, add "gx" or "GX" - the list is case insensitive.

"Request" means that the search results are only stored for the duration of the current request. For best performance results, you should use "Session" for search results that return multiple pages for a limited number of sessions. If the server handles multiple requests over time, "Request" should be used.
`search_service`	The RMI URL for the Search Service.
`to_parameter`	Specifies the "to" parameter to use when results are shown (for example "From x to y".
