The Server Configuration menu controls all of the major server settings for the FIT system.
The following table lists the settings and their descriptions:
| FIT Server Name | The server name to use instead of the default IP. This is used for links to the system, such as links to bugs in email notification summaries
|
| FIT Port |
The port that FIT is running on. If this is changed, you must stop
and restart FIT for the new port to take effect. (default of 10000)
|
| FIT IP Address | On systems with multiple IPs, this option will allow you to pick a desired IP
|
| Skin to use | this option changes the look and feel of the system using additional looks that were created for other customers and then incomrporated into the product. Each skin has a matching style sheet. |
| Style sheet to use | This option allows you to customize the default style sheet used for displaying system pages. If you create a new CSS file and place it in the bugserver directory, it will be displayed in this list. See the Customization documentation on how to create a custom CSS file. |
| Restrict Status | This option allows the administrator to restrict status states to only admin users and the user who opened a given issue. This means that no other users can move the issue to any of these status states. The states are controlled with the sRestrictStatusValue string. This string consists of a comma-delimited list of states that are to be restricted. |
| Add Creator To Notify List | This option automatically adds the creator of every issue to the Notify List for that issue. These users are then sent notifications of all changes to a given issue. |
| Disable Normal Edit Profile | Remove the Edit Profile link so that users can not modify their user information and passwords |
| Enable ReadOnly Edit Profile | Allow ReadOnly users to modify their user information and passwords |
| Disable Auto Browser Launch | Stop the server from automatically opening a browser and connecting to the server. Particularly useful on console systems, which do not have a Graphics context that allows this. |
| Allow Editing of New Bug Status | changes the readonly default for status (controlled by sDefaultStatus) to a Read/Write field that can be edited. |
| Show Reject Count | Show the number of times an issue was rejected (beside the status label) |
| Disable URLs and Bug IDs as Links | this option turns off the automatic url generation that is used for detected URLs and strings of the form "Bug X" (linking to bugs) |
| Enable Attachments In Notifications | Add all attachments to outgoing notifications |
| Suppress Notifications by Default | This will automatically check the Suppress Notification check box on the Edit Bug screen. |
| Disable Suppress Bulk Notifications by Default | This will disable automatic checking of the Suppress Notification check box on the Bulk Update screen. |
| Disable Confirm Delete | Remove the "Are you sure" prompt from admin menu deletes. |
| Disable Parent/Child Controls | If enabled, parent cannot be closed until all children are closed. If a child is changed from the closed state, the parent is re-opened. |
| Enable Jump Back/Forward 10 Links | This will enable jump by 10 links on the View Issue screens, right next to the default jump back/front links. |
| Disable Duplicate Submit Catch | This option will remove the feature that catches duplicate submissions (such as hitting submit button twice). |
| Server Time Zone | Default time zone used for the server, if different from system time. |
| Disable View All Bugs | This removes the "View All Bugs" link from the main menu as it can cause slower performance. |
| Show User Tags in All Views | This option appends the User Tag (from a user's profile) to the userid in all dropdowns in the system. This is nice for systems where userids are not immediately obvious. |
| Show User Tags First | This option displays the User Tag as a prefix instead of a suffix. This option is used in conjunction with the preceeding one. |
| User Alternate Login Page | This option can be used if you are using an alternate login page, separate to the system. Without this option, a user will go to the default login page when they logout of the system. |
| Set View All Bugs Grouping Size | This option helps minimize the impact of the "View All Bugs" option. Smaller grouping sizes will have a smaller impact on the system. |
| Attachment Prompts | Default number of attachment prompts that are available on edit screens. |
| Leading Zeros | This controls the leading zeros that are displayed for the issue id. It offers a way to enforce that IDs are a consistent size. |
| Session Timeout (in Hours) | The inactivity time that will cause a session id to expire. |
| Default History Type for Notifications | The history type that will be used for notifications where it can not be obtained from a user profile (ie: anonymous). |
| Unsuccessful login attempts before locking out user | A security feature that will limit the number of failed login attempts. |
| Enable Session Cookies | This option uses cookies for the session IDs. This eliminates the possibility of users accidentally exposing them if they copy/paste a URL. | |
| Disable Password Cookies | Remove option from login screen for remembering passwords. |
| Enforce 8 Characters | enforce that at least 8 characters are used for passwords. |
| Enforce 1 Upper Case | enforce that at least 1 upper case letter is used in passwords. |
| Enforce 1 Lower Case | enforce that at least 1 lower case letter is used in passwords. |
| Enforce 1 Number | enforce that at least 1 number is used in passwords. |
| Enforce 1 Non-alphanumeric | enforce that at least 1 character is used that is not a number or a letter. |
