Configuration

This chapter explains the most important configuration options.

The default values for all configuration settings are specified in the file [INSTALL_FOLDER]/webapp/[WEBAPP_NAME]/WEB-INF/classes/default-application.properties of each web app. This file must not be modified.

All configuration settings can be adjusted via the configuration file [DATA_FOLDER]/application.properties. Additionally, all configuration properties that contain passwords or secrets are specified in the file [DATA_FOLDER]/secrets.properties.

Passwords and other sensitive information should be stored in the secrets.properties file and not in the application.properties file. This makes it easier to share the application.properties file, for example with con terra support, without disclosing sensitive information.

The [DATA_FOLDER] directory is defined during installation and is set to [INSTALL_FOLDER]/data by default.

After installation, some configuration properties are already specified in the application.properties and secrets.properties files, which thus override the default properties.

After changing any of the configuration files, a restart of the web application is required (alternatively, you can restart the entire Tomcat server).
