TeamForge site-options.conf Tokens

TeamForge Services and Domain Configuration Tokens

See TeamForge Services and Domain Configuration Tokens.

When this token is set to true, the TeamForge Activity Chart and the Most Active Projects List do not appear on the main page before the user logs in.

Values: true or false

Default: false

ADHOC_QUERY_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT

Specifies the connection timeout for Adhoc query.

Values: Integer

Default: 15000

Also See: teamforge reload command.

ADHOC_QUERY_RESULTS_LIMT

Specifies the results limit for Adhoc query.

Values: Integer

Default: 1000

Also See: teamforge reload command.

ADMIN_EMAIL

The ADMIN_EMAIL token specifies a valid email address for the site administrator. The mail account specified must be hosted on a separate server outside of the TeamForge Application Server. The SYSTEM_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL, and JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL tokens can specify the same address.

important

In TeamForge 6.x (and later), the sender name and address for system-generated emails is taken from the value of the SYSTEM_EMAIL token. Therefore, changing the admin user's full name or email address does not affect the sender details of system-generated emails. This is different from TeamForge 5.x, in which the sender name and address for system-generated emails is derived from the admin user's full name and email address.

Values: Email address specification

Default: root@{\__APPLICATION_HOST\__}

ALLOW_CASE_INSENSITIVE_LOGIN

In general, TeamForge usernames are validated case-sensitively. Set this token to true so that username validations are done case-insensitively.

Values: true or false

Default: false

ALLOWED_HOSTS

This token is used to specify the list of allowed hostnames. This token works only if the site-options.conf token SECURE_REDIRECTS is set to true. When the HOST header is not equal to NODE_HOSTNAME or ALLOWED_HOSTS, then it redirects to the custom 400 error page.

Values: xxx.com yyy.com zzz.com (multiple hosts)

Default: none

ALLOW_NO_PASSWORD_ON_USER_CREATION

The ALLOW_NO_PASSWORD_ON_USER_CREATIONtoken, when set to true, allows the admin to create users with null password through SOAP when external authentication is enabled.

Values: true or false

Default: false

ALLOW_PASSWORD_DICTIONARY_WORD

You must set the REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY token to true in the site-options.conf file, for ALLOW_PASSWORD_DICTIONARY_WORD security setting to take effect.

ALLOW_USERNAME_IN_PASSWORD

The ALLOW_USERNAME_IN_PASSWORD token, when set to true, allows users to set a password that includes the string that they use for their user name on the site.

Values: true or false

Default: true

APPLICATION_LOG_DIR

The APPLICATION_LOG_DIR token specifies the directory to which the application writes its log files.

Values: Path specification

Default: /opt/collabnet/teamforge/log/apps

APPROVE_NEW_USER_ACCOUNTS

The APPROVE_NEW_USER_ACCOUNTS token specifies whether a site administrator must approve the requests to join the site.

Values: true or false

Default: true

ARTIFACT_DESC_EDITOR

The ARTIFACT_DESC_EDITOR token allows you to choose the type of text that can be used for artifact description using the editor tool.

Values: Plain Text

Default: Plain Text

ARTIFACT_LIST_LIMIT

The ARTIFACT_LIST_LIMIT token specifies the maximum number of artifacts displayed in and exported from the Planned Tracker Artifacts tab available in File Releases.

Values: Integer

Default: 5000

AUTO_DATA

TeamForge 7.1 and later support automatic password creation. Once you turn on automatic password creation, the AUTO_DATA token is auto-generated by the installer during runtime recreation.

warning

The AUTO_DATA token is not a user-editable site options token. Do not modify this token manually.

The following password-related site-options.conf tokens can have the passwords automatically created if set to $auto$. When set to $auto$, the passwords for the tokens are randomly generated, encrypted and stored in the AUTO_DATA token that is added automatically to the site-options.conf file during runtime recreation.

DATABASE_PASSWORD=$auto$
DATABASE_READ_ONLY_PASSWORD=$auto$
REPORTS_DATABASE_PASSWORD=$auto$
REPORTS_DATABASE_READ_ONLY_PASSWORD=$auto$
ETL_SOAP_SHARED_SECRET=$auto$
JAMES_ADMIN_PASSWORD=$auto$
BDCS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=$auto$
MIRROR_DATABASE_PASSWORD=$auto$
SCM_ADMIN_PASSWORD=$auto$
warning

As this AUTO_DATA token is auto-generated and managed by the TeamForge installer, do not modify this token manually during TeamForge upgrades. When you upgrade TeamForge, you must copy this token intact (along with its value) from the old site-options.conf file to the upgraded site's site-options.conf file, before recreating the runtime. This applies to all the servers in a distributed set up (copy the AUTO_DATA token and its value to all the servers).

This feature is enabled by default. You can, however, override any of the above password-related tokens with the password of your choice.

BASELINE_BULKDATA_BATCHSIZE

Number of database records a thread (asynchronous) can handle at a time.

Values: 500, 600, 700, ...

Default: 500

BASELINE_BULKDATA_WORKER

Number of threads (asynchronous) dedicated for baseline creation.

Values: 100, 200, 300, ...

Default: 100

BASELINE_COMPARE_ROOT_FOLDER

This token is used to configure the location where the Excel file is generated and stored when you export the diff of two Baselines.

Values: folder path

BASELINE_CTF_MAX_CONN

Maximum number of connections to TeamForge database.

Values: 1 - 20

Default: 20

BASELINE_FILE_STORAGE

Specifies the file location of baseline functions such as packaging and so on.

Values: File path

BASELINE_LIQUIBASE_LOGLEVEL

Use this token to add log entries related to baseline database migration. Set this token to debug to troubleshoot, issues, if any, during baseline database migration.

Default: info

Values: info/debug/warning/severe/off

BASELINE_LOG_FILE

Specifies path of the baseline log file.

Values: file path

Default: /opt/collabnet/teamforge/log/baseline/baseline.log

BASELINE_LOG_LEVEL

Values: Port number of server hosting baseline-post-install service

Default: 9192

BASELINE_PSQL_MAX_CONN

Maximum number of connections to baseline database.

Values: 1 - 100

Default: 100

BCC_MAIL_BATCH_SIZE

Set the ENABLE_BCC_MONITORING token to true and then depending on your site's requirements, you can set the value of this BCC_MAIL_BATCH_SIZE token to configure the number of monitoring emails delivered in a single delivery.

When a work item such as an artifact or discussion is updated, instead of sending separate monitoring emails to all monitoring users, you can now choose to have just one monitoring email sent with all monitoring users added to the BCC. This reduces the load on the email server and results in faster email delivery. You must enable this feature by setting ENABLE_BCC_MONITORING to true and then, depending on your site's requirements, you can optimize the value of this BCC_MAIL_BATCH_SIZE token to increase or decrease the number of emails delivered in a single delivery.

Values: Integer

Default: 100

This token was added in TeamForge 7.2.

BINARY_SETUP_TYPE

Set this token appropriately to have the binary application installed the way you want (as part of the TeamForge installation or upgrade).

TeamForge 8.0 and later support integration with Nexus OSS, an open source repository manager for binary artifacts. By default, the TeamForge installer installs a binary application (referred to as the binary app hereinafter), which is essentially a launching pad for all binary integrated applications such as Nexus OSS. Once this binary app is installed as part of TeamForge installation, you can integrate your Nexus servers and repositories with TeamForge.

Though the binary app is installed by default with TeamForge, you can change the value of this site option token, BINARY_SETUP_TYPE, to skip binary app installation altogether. You can also have this token configured to have the binary app installed and rolled out for all projects (both existing and new projects to be created) or only for new projects to be created or for select projects on a need basis.

Values:

  • all: Binary app is installed and available for all projects.
  • new: Binary app is installed and available for new projects only.
  • manual: Binary app is installed at a site level and project administrators can add it to select projects on a need basis.
  • none: TeamForge installer skips the binary app installation altogether.

Default: new

This token was added in TeamForge 8.0.

BINARIES_ENDPOINT_URL

Specifies the URL of Nexus binaries server.

Values: Server URL

BROWSER_NO_CACHE

BROWSER_NO_CACHE is a new token added to runtime-options.conf file to enable or disable browser caching in TeamForge for better application performance. By default, the token is set to false in runtime-options.conf file. To disable browser caching, set the value to true in site-options.conf file.

Values: true or false

Default: false

COMPARE_LIMIT

Maximum number of records allowed while comparing baselines. Only up to 10,000 records are allowed.

Values: 1 - 10000

Default: 10000

DATABASE_NAME

The DATABASE_NAME token specifies the name of the site's database.

Values: Alphanumeric string

Default: teamforge

DATABASE_PASSWORD

The DATABASE_PASSWORD token is the password for the Unix user that is authorized to read from and write to the site's database.

Values: Alphanumeric string

Default: $auto$

DATABASE_SSL

To prevent your data from being exposed in a readable format on the network, use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt the network traffic between the Application and the Database servers. The DATABASE_SSL token turns SSL on or off on sites that use a dedicated operational database server.

You can have the TeamForge PostgreSQL database server run with SSL enabled by setting DATABASE_SSL=on. Once SSL is turned on, the PostgreSQL server listens to both normal and SSL connections on the same TCP port and negotiates with any connecting client on whether to use SSL or not.

To start in SSL mode, the server certificate and private key files must exist. These files are, by default, supposed to be named server.crt and server.key, respectively, in the database server's data directory.

Use the POSTGRES_SSL_CERT_FILE and POSTGRES_SSL_KEY_FILE tokens to configure the location of the server.crt and server.key files of the TeamForge PostgreSQL database server respectively.

For example,

DATABASE_SSL=on
POSTGRES_SSL_CERT_FILE=/var/ops/ssl/dbserver.crt
POSTGRES_SSL_KEY_FILE=/var/ops/ssl/dbserver.key

Use the POSTGRES_BASELINE_SSL_CERT_FILE and POSTGRES_BASELINE_SSL_KEY_FILE tokens to configure the location of the server.crt and server.key files of the TeamForge Baselines PostgreSQL database server respectively.

For example,

DATABASE_SSL=on
POSTGRES_SSL_CERT_FILE=/var/ops/ssl/dbserver.crt
POSTGRES_SSL_KEY_FILE=/var/ops/ssl/dbserver.key
POSTGRES_BASELINE_SSL_CERT_FILE=/var/ops/ssl/baselinedb-server.crt
POSTGRES_BASELINE_SSL_KEY_FILE=/var/ops/ssl/baselinedb-server.key

Values: on or off

Default: off

DATABASE_TYPE

The DATABASE_TYPE token specifies the type of database in which the TeamForge site's data is stored.

Values: postgresql or oracle

Default: postgresql

DATABASE_USERNAME

The DATABASE_USERNAME token specifies the Unix user that is authorized to read from and write to the site's database.

Values: Alphanumeric string

Default: teamforge

Comments: For some advanced operations, you may need to log into the database as the database user. However, under normal conditions only the TeamForge site process itself needs to access the database.

DEFAULT_LOCALE

The DEFAULT_LOCALE token specifies the language in which automated email messages from the site are generated.

Values:

Default: en

DEFAULT_PROJECT_ACCESS

The DEFAULT_PROJECT_ACCESS token specifies the type of access that is assigned to a project when it is created. A project can be private, public, or gated.

Values: private, gated, public

Default: private

DISABLE_CREATE_INTEGRATION_SERVERS

The DISABLE_CREATE_INTEGRATION_SERVERS token specifies whether the creation of new SCM integrations is allowed.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Comments: When this token is set to its default value of false, you can add SCM integration servers to your TeamForge site. Also, the Discover Subversion Edge Servers option, which enables you to find and connect to Subversion Edge servers on your LAN, is available.

DISABLE_REMOTE_PUBLISHING

Publishing repository, like the branding repository, is one of the default repositories that's created automatically when a TeamForge project is created and is intended to contain publicly-consumable files. However, site administrators can toggle access to Publishing Repositories and restrict access based on defined RBAC.

For more information on Publishing Repository, see What is a Publishing repository? How does it work?. This token is set to false by default, meaning the Publishing Repository is publicly accessible.

If set to true:

  • The Publishing Repository is stripped of its public access and behaves like any other Subversion repository with RBAC applied to it.
  • Project Administrators can no longer view or modify the PROJECT HOME OPTIONS (see Create a custom project home page).

Values: true or false

Default: false

DISABLE_USER_SELF_CREATION {#DISABLE_USER_SELF_CREATION}

The DISABLE_USER_SELF_CREATION token restricts users from creating their own accounts on the TeamForge home page.

Values: true or false

Default: true

DISCUSSION_ADD_HEADERS

The DISCUSSION_ADD_HEADERS token allows you to add custom headers to the emails posted in the forum.

Values: You can choose to add or remove headers by specifying the particular information you want to be added or dropped from the header. For example, if you add <#d#> in the Add header field, the URL of that discussion will be added to the header of all the available messages in that discussion.

Default: None

Example:

DISCUSSION_ADD_HEADERS=headername1:value1, name2: value2 , post-id:<#n#>, forum-url:<#d#>, message-url:<#m#>, domain:<#h#>, list-name:<#l#>, list-address:<#l#>@<#h#>

Comments: Add one or more header names. The match of any of these headers in an outgoing message (via email) causes its addition with appropriate notification to the posting user.

DISCUSSION_DROP_MIME_TYPES

The DISCUSSION_DROP_MIME_TYPES token allows you to delete the mime types submitted by email that contain arbitrary strings.

Values: image/jpeg,image/jpg,text/xml

Default: Regular expression

Example:

DISCUSSION_DROP_MIME_TYPES=image/jpeg,image/jpg,text/xml

Comments: Add one or more mime types to the Drop mime types filter. The presence of any of these mime types in an incoming message (via email) causes its deletion with appropriate notification to the posting user. If a mime type is specified in both the Reject and Drop mime filters, then the Reject mime type filter must take higher precedence than the Drop mime type filter.

DISCUSSION_EMAIL_MONITORING

The DISCUSSION_EMAIL_MONITORING token determines which users can monitor a forum on the site.

Values:

ValueDescription
0Allow only forum administrators
1Users with role permissions
4All logged in users
5Allow all site users and guests

Default: 1

Example:

DISCUSSION_EMAIL_MONITORING=4

Comments: This setting applies to the site as a whole. Project owners can choose to be more restrictive in their own project by selecting a lower value on the project administration page.

DISCUSSION_EMAIL_POSTING

The DISCUSSION_EMAIL_POSTING token determines which users on your site can post to forums by e-mail.

Values:

ValueDescription
0Allow only forum administrators
1Users with role permissions
4All logged in users
5Allow known email addresses only
6Allow all site users and guests

DISCUSSION_FORUM_EDITOR

The DISCUSSION_FORUM_EDITOR token allows you to choose the type of text that can be used in discussion forum description using the editor tool.

Values: Plain Text

Default: Plain Text

DISCUSSION_MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE

The DISCUSSION_MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE token sets an upper limit to the size of files that users can attach to an email message sent to any discussion forum on the site.

Values: Integer (Megabytes)

Default: blank

Comments: A value of zero or less specifies that there is no limit, which is the same as the default behavior without the token.

DISCUSSION_POST_EDITOR

The DISCUSSION_POST_EDITOR token allows you to choose the type of text that can be used for posting in discussion forums using the editor tool.

Values: Plain Text

Default: Plain Text

DISCUSSION_REJECT_CONTENT

The DISCUSSION_REJECT_CONTENT token allows you to block the discussion messages submitted by email that contain arbitrary strings.

Values: Regular expression

Default: None

Example:

DISCUSSION_REJECT_CONTENT=(?s).*word.*,(?s).*spam.*

Comments: Add one or more entries. Each regular expression must match an entire entry. The match of any of these entries in the body or subject of an incoming message (via email) causes its rejection, with appropriate notification to the posting user.

note

The content entry is case sensitive.

DISCUSSION_REJECT_HEADERS

The DISCUSSION_REJECT_HEADERS token allows you to block different headers submitted by email that contain arbitrary strings.

Values: Regular expression

Default: None

Example:

DISCUSSION_REJECT_HEADERS=(?s).*headername1:value2.*,(?s).*name2:value2.*

Comments: Add one or more header names. Each regular expression must match an entire header name. The match of any of these headers in an incoming message (via email)causes its rejection, with appropriate notification to the posting user.

DISCUSSION_REJECT_MIME_TYPES

The DISCUSSION_REJECT_MIME_TYPES token allows you to delete the mime types submitted by email that contain arbitrary strings.

Values: Application/PDF,text/xml

Default: Regular expression

Example:

DISCUSSION_REJECT_MIME_TYPES=application/pdf,text/xml

Comments: Add one or more mime types to the Reject MIME types filter. The presence of any of these mime types in an incoming message (via email) will cause its deletion with appropriate notification to the posting user.

DISPLAY_TIMEZONE

The DISPLAY_TIMEZONE token, if set with a preferred time zone, takes precedence over the physical TeamForge server location's time zone and will be the default time zone that's displayed throughout the application. In other words, use this token to set a preferred time zone to display across the TeamForge application in case the TeamForge physical server and users are not on the same time zone.

Values: The ID for a time zone can be either a full name such as America/Los_Angeles, or a custom ID in the form GMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm] such as GMT-08:00. It can also be in the form of a three letter abbreviation such as PST.

Default: If set, this token overrides the default time zone of the TeamForge server. TeamForge uses the default time zone of the JVM otherwise.

DOCUMENT_MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE

By default, you can upload documents of any size in TeamForge. The DOCUMENT_MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE token sets an upper limit to the size of the documents that can be uploaded. Use this token only if you want to restrict the size of the documents.

Values: Integer (specify the number of Megabytes without the suffix MB)

Default: blank

Comments: A value of zero specifies that there is no limit, which is the same as the default behavior without the token. In other words, disabling this token, setting a value of 0, or leaving it blank sets the maximum file upload size to unlimited.

DOCUMENT_TEXT_EDITOR

The DOCUMENT_TEXT_EDITOR token allows you to choose the type of text that can be used for the document description using the editor tool.

Values: Plain Text

Default: Plain Text

ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS

Values: Java specifications

Default:

ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS=-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true

Comments:

As a result of changes to the logging framework in Java, the PrintGCDetails and PrintGCTimeStamps logging options are no longer supported. Remove these options from the following tokens while upgrading to TeamForge 18.1 or later.

  • JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS
  • PHOENIX_JAVA_OPTS
  • INTEGRATION_JAVA_OPTS
  • ETL_JAVA_OPTS
  • ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS

TeamForge provision fails on sites that use these options post upgrade to TeamForge 18.1 or later.

  • New tokens, ELASTICSEARCH_MIN_HEAP_SIZE and ELASTICSEARCH_MAX_HEAP_SIZE, have been added in TeamForge 22.0, which are to be configured along with the ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS token.
  • Do not specify the minimum and maximum heap size in ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS. Use ELASTICSEARCH_MIN_HEAP_SIZE and ELASTICSEARCH_MAX_HEAP_SIZE tokens instead.

ELASTICSEARCH_MIN_HEAP_SIZE

The ELASTICSEARCH_MIN_HEAP_SIZE token specifies the minimum memory settings for the Java virtual machine that supports Elasticsearch, used by TeamForge Code Search.

Values: Java specifications

Default: -Xms2g

note

By default, Elasticsearch JVM minimum heap size is set to 2GB in TeamForge. You can increase this, if required.

ELASTICSEARCH_MAX_HEAP_SIZE

The ELASTICSEARCH_MAX_HEAP_SIZE token specifies the maximum memory settings for the Java virtual machine that supports Elasticsearch, used by TeamForge Code Search.

Values: Java specifications

Default: -Xmx2g

note

By default, Elasticsearch JVM maximum heap size is set to 2GB in TeamForge. You can increase this, if required.

ENABLE_BCC_MONITORING

When a work item such as an artifact or discussion is updated, instead of sending separate monitoring emails to all monitoring users, you can now choose to have just one monitoring email sent with all monitoring users added to the BCC. This reduces the load on the email server and results in faster email delivery. Set ENABLE_BCC_MONITORING to true to enable this feature.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Comments: Depending on your site's requirements, you can also optimize the value of BCC_MAIL_BATCH_SIZE to increase or decrease the number of emails delivered in a single delivery.

ENABLE_GO_PROFILING

Debugs the baseline service, if enabled. By default, this token is disabled.

Values: true or false

Default: false

ENABLE_SERVICE_MONITORING

If ENABLE_SERVICE_MONITORING token is set to true, then the services using monit will be enabled for service monitoring. By default, this token is set to false.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Also See: teamforge reload command.

ENABLE_SITE_NEWS

Site news is disabled by default. Set this token to true in site-options.conf file, customize the home page of your site and recreate runtime if you want to publish site news on your site's home page.

To publish site news, set this token to true in site-options.conf file, customize the home page of your site (see "siteNews" html block) and recreate runtime if you want to publish site news on your site's home page.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Comments: This token was added in TeamForge 16.7. Until TeamForge 16.3, regardless of whether you have site news enabled or not, site news were processed in the background. With this ENABLE_SITE_NEWS token, there is no site news processing in the background (by default ENABLE_SITE_NEWS=false) thereby improving the site's home page performance a bit.

ENABLE_UI_FOR_CUSTOM_EVENT_HANDLERS

To support branding and customization changes, set the ENABLE_UI_FOR_CUSTOM_EVENT_HANDLERS token to true.

Values: true or false

Default: true

note

If you've enabled ETL_JAVA_OPTS token in site-options.conf file and have added any parameter, you must provide the required JVM heap size as the default heap size is not taken into account.

Comments:

eamForge 18.1 (and later) supports Java 9. As a result of changes to the logging framework in Java 9, the PrintGCDetails and PrintGCTimeStamps logging options are no longer supported. Remove these options from the following tokens while upgrading to TeamForge 18.1 or later.

  • JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS
  • PHOENIX_JAVA_OPTS
  • INTEGRATION_JAVA_OPTS
  • ETL_JAVA_OPTS
  • ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS

Also See: teamforge reload command.

ETL_JOB_THREAD_COUNT

The ETL_JOB_THREAD_COUNT token specifies the number of Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) jobs that can be run simultaneously.

Values: 1-100

Default: 2

Comments: If you only have a few jobs to be triggered few times a day, then one thread is sufficient. If you have tens of thousands of jobs, that needs to be triggered every minute, then you should consider increasing the thread count to 50 or 100 (this depends on the nature of the work that your jobs perform, and your resources).

ETL_JOB_TRIGGER_TIME

The ETL_JOB_TRIGGER_TIME token specifies the time and date for recurrent Extract, Transform and Load (ETL)jobs.

Values: Cron expression.

Default: 0 30 2 * * ?

Comments: This token takes a cron expression for a value, and not an absolute time value. The default value evaluates to 2.30 a.m. local time. For help with cron expressions, see Cron Trigger Tutorial.

Also See: teamforge reload command.

ETL_SOAP_SHARED_SECRET

The ETL_SOAP_SHARED_SECRET token enables users to access site-wide reporting data via a SOAP client.

Values: String (possibly encrypted).

Default: mightyetlsoapsecret

FILTER_DROPDOWN_MAX_SELECTION

By default, the drop-down lists with multi-select feature let you select up to 10 filter values. However, you can set any value that suits your requirement for this FILTER_DROPDOWN_MAX_SELECTION token to increase or decrease the count.

Values: Any positive integer.

Default: 10

This token was added in TeamForge 7.1.

FORBIDDEN_PASSWORD

The FORBIDDEN_PASSWORD token restricts specified words from being used as passwords.

Values: Comma-separated strings

Default: None

GERRIT_DATABASE_HOST

This is the Gerrit Postgres database host. The Gerrit configuration property, database.hostname, is derived from the value of GERRIT_DATABASE_HOST token in the runtime-options.conf. It can be overridden in site-options.conf and requires runtime creation with execution of the post installation script.

Default: 127.0.0.1

GERRIT_DATABASE_NAME

This refers the Gerrit database schema. The Gerrit configuration property, database.database, is derived from the value of GERRIT_DATABASE_NAME in runtime-options.conf. It can be overridden in site-options.conf and requires runtime creation with execution of post installation script.

Default: reviewdb

GERRIT_DATABASE_USER

This is the PostgresDB role name that has access to the Gerrit database GERRIT_DATABASE_NAME. The Gerrit configuration property, database.username, is derived from the value of GERRIT_DATABASE_USER in the runtime-options.conf. It can be overridden in site-options.conf and requires runtime creation with execution of post installation script.

Default: gerrit

GERRIT_GIT_PUSH_THRESHOLD

The GERRIT_GIT_PUSH_THRESHOLD token determines the maximum number of commits in a single Git push. If the limit exceeds, only a single commit object is created in the TeamForge.

Values: Any positive integer.

Default: 30

GERRIT_GIT_REFRESH_PERIOD

The GERRIT_GIT_REFRESH_PERIOD token sets the interval in seconds after which Git Integration synchronizes all the repositories and all RBAC permission with TeamForge.

Values: Number of seconds

Default: 3600 seconds

GERRIT_REPLICATION_MODE

Use this site-options token to set the Git integration server as either master or slave server. In case you do not want replication (standalone mode) or you have only one primary source for repositories, set this token to master. On the other hand, if you have a master Git integration server and you want to replicate (mirror) its repositories on a secondary slave Git integration server, set this token to slave on the slave Git integration server.

Values: master or slave

Default: master

Comments: By default, in TeamForge 8.1 (and later), this token is set to master in the runtime-options.conf during runtime creation. As you cannot change the replication mode of a Git server after initial runtime creation, you have to set this to slave at the very beginning of your installation process in case you want to configure the server as a mirror of a master Git server. It is not possible to have a Git master and slave configured on the same node, but you can have multiple masters and slaves in your TeamForge environment. Each slave belongs to exactly one master. Once a replica server is set up, it is not possible to reassign it to a different master Git integration server at a later point in time.

GERRIT_REPLICATION_MASTER_EXTERNAL_SYSTEM_ID

If GERRIT_REPLICATION_MODE is set to slave, this token specifies external system ID of the master Git integration server.

Values: Alphanumeric string (exsy<number>) of a master Git integration server

Comments: This token is mandatory if GERRIT_REPLICATION_MODE is set to slave, without which the runtime creation shall fail. On the contrary, the runtime recreation will also fail if GERRIT_REPLICATION_MODE is set to master and this token is present in the site-options.conf file.

GERRIT_SMTP_SERVER

This is the hostname of the SMTP mail server for Gerrit. The Gerrit configuration property, sendmail.smtpServer, is derived from the value of GERRIT_SMTP_SERVER in the runtime-options.conf. It can be overridden in site-options.conf and requires runtime creation with execution of post installation script.

Default: localhost

GERRIT_SYNCH_PORT

The Port over which TeamForge communicates to Gerrit. The Gerrit configuration property, teamforge.apiPort, is derived from the value of GERRIT_SYNCH_PORT in the runtime-options.conf. It can be overridden in site-options.conf and requires runtime creation with execution of post installation script.

Default: 9081

GERRIT_USER_EMAIL

This token sets the user email account for sending emails from Gerrit. This refers to all Gerrit servers specified in site-options.conf file or through cluster/server specific parameters. For example, the "clusterId/serverId" in [clusterId/serverId]:gerrit:user.email refers to the cluster or server that is used.

Values:

Default:

HAPROXY_HTTP_REUSE_OPTION

Comments:

  • Specifying a gateway host assures delivery of site email to users if your TeamForge server cannot connect to a DNS server or cannot get outside connections over port 25.
  • The mail account specified must be hosted on a separate server from the TeamForge site server.
  • The SYSTEM_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL, and JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL tokens can specify the same address.
note

Specify the gateway host by its fully qualified domain name, not a host name.

Also See: teamforge reload command.

  • JAMES_GATEWAY_HOST and JAMES_GATEWAY_PORT tokens specify the relay server's FQDN and port to use respectively. The JAMES_GATEWAY_HOST token specifies a mail server with Internet access, separate from the TeamForge Application Server. Specify the gateway host by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN), not a host name.

    Also See: teamforge reload command.

  • JAMES_GATEWAY_USERNAME and JAMES_GATEWAY_PASSWORD tokens specify the relay server credentials. These tokens are optional that should only be used if the relay server requires SMTP authentication.

Values: Java specifications

Default: -Xms1536m -Xmx1536m

note

If you've enabled JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS token in site-options.conf file and have added any parameter, you must provide the required JVM heap size as the default heap size is not taken into account.

Comments: All JVM parameters but -Xms1536m and -Xmx1536m have been hard-coded in the TeamForge core application.

You cannot manually configure any of the following default JVM parameters in the site-options.conf file.

-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128M
-server
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
-XX:HeapDumpPath=/tmp -verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintCodeCache
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000
-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom
-Djava.awt.headless=true.
warning

When you change the default value of a JVM parameter such as -XX:HeapDumpPath, the JBoss runtime parameters include both the user defined and default values for the JVM parameter. However, JBoss runs with the default value and ignores any user defined value.

eamForge 18.1 (and later) supports Java 9. As a result of changes to the logging framework in Java 9, the PrintGCDetails and PrintGCTimeStamps logging options are no longer supported. Remove these options from the following tokens while upgrading to TeamForge 18.1 or later.

  • JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS
  • PHOENIX_JAVA_OPTS
  • INTEGRATION_JAVA_OPTS
  • ETL_JAVA_OPTS
  • ELASTICSEARCH_JAVA_OPTS

TeamForge provision fails on sites that use these options post upgrade to TeamForge 18.1.

This option controls locking out the user account after "n" invalid login attempts.

  • Set this to zero or a negative number to lock the user account when the user provides an incorrect password for the first time.
  • Set this to a positive number, say "2", to allow the user two wrong password attempts. The user account would be locked at the "x+1" (here, third) attempt.

When a user's account is locked, either an administrator must unlock it or the user can use the "Forgot Your Password?" link to reset the password.

You must set the REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY token to true in the site-options.conf file, for LOGIN_ATTEMPT_LOCK setting to take effect.

LISTEN_IP

In a distributed setup, you can use this <host>:<service>:LISTEN_IP token to control which IPs the services bind to so that you can make sure that services are not overexposed than necessary.

By default, services bind to the IP address corresponding to the <host>:PUBLIC_FQDN token. However, you can override this using the <host>:<service>:LISTEN_IP token.

A few use cases:

  • In a distributed setup, you may want to bind a particular IP address of the TeamForge database server (PostgreSQL server) to the ctfcore-database service:
    server-01:ctfcore-database:LISTEN_IP = 1.2.3.4
  • To bind the mail service to a particular IP:
    localhost:mail:LISTEN_IP = 1.2.3.4
  • To make TeamForge listen to a specific IP of a particular server, say the SCM server:
    myscmserver:LISTEN_IP = 1.2.3.4
  • To bind all your services to one IP address (typically in a single server setup):
    localhost:LISTEN_IP = 1.2.3.4
note

You cannot use more than one IP address with the LISTEN_IP token.

LOG_DIR

The LOG_DIR token specifies the path where TeamForge log files are written.

Values: Path specification

Default: {__SITE_DIR__}/log

LOG_QUERY_TIME_THRESHOLD

The LOG_QUERY_TIME_THRESHOLD token enables you to log database requests at INFO level if they run longer than a given period.

By default, database requests are logged at DEBUG level. Configuring a value for LOG_QUERY_TIME_THRESHOLD causes requests that run for a period greater than that value to be logged at the INFO level in the /opt/collabnet/teamfoge/log/apps/query.log file.

Set the value to zero to log all database queries at INFO.

Values: Integer (milliseconds)

Default: 1000

LOGIN_ATTEMPT_LOCK

Use the LOGIN_ATTEMPT_LOCK token to set the permissible number of unsuccessful login attempts after which the user account is automatically locked.

Values: 1-3

Important: You can now selectively disable this feature even if you have set the REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY site options token to true. Set any negative value (such as '-1' or '-10000') in case you want to disable this feature altogether.

Note that with TeamForge 8.1 and earlier versions, setting LOGIN_ATTEMPT_LOCK=-1 means the user account would be locked at the very first unsuccessful login attempt. This behavior has been removed in TeamForge 8.2 (and later).

Default: 3

LOGIN_CONFIG_XML_FILE

The LOGIN_CONFIG_XML_FILE token specifies the path to the LDAP configuration file.

Values: Path specification

The PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE token is used to set the date from which the password security feature takes effect.

Values: Date (mm/dd/yyyy)

Comments: The REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY is the master token that enables the password security feature.

important

Setting the PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE token with a date is mandatory if REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY is set to true.

Example 1:

Consider a site with 130 users on which the password control kit (PCK) was not active. Of the 130 users, assume that:

  • 100 users did not change password in last 100 days.
  • 20 users did not change password in last 85 days.
  • 10 users did not change password in last 75 days.

Assume that the following tokens are set on 01/01/2014 (current date):

REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY=true
PASSWORD_WARNING_PERIOD=20
PASSWORD_EXPIRY_PERIOD=90
PASSWORD_DISABLE_PERIOD=30
PASSWORD_DELETE_PERIOD=60

PCK runs on 01/01/2014 and if you have PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE=01/10/2014 (set to a future date):

  • 100 users with no password change for the past 100 days would get a warning message that their passwords will expire in 10 days.
  • 20 users with no password change for the past 85 days would get a warning message that their passwords will expire in 10 days.
  • 10 users with no password change for the past 75 days would get a warning message that their passwords will expire in 15 days.

Example 2: Consider the following scenario in which:

  • Current date = 01/01/2014
  • PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE=01/01/2013

In this scenario, the password control effective date is set to a date in the past. As a result, password control takes immediate effect and the PCK starts disabling, deleting or expiring user accounts right away.

Also See: teamforge reload command.

Values: Positive integer (number of days).

Default: 14

Also See: teamforge reload command.

PASSWORD_HISTORY_AGE

The maximum allowed value of PASSWORD_HISTORY_AGE token is 10. This option disallows the previous "n" passwords, while setting a password. However, if this option is set to zero, a negative number or it is left empty, the user can use any previous password. The password being set must satisfy the existing password policy each time.

You must set the REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY token to true in the site-options.conf file, for PASSWORD_HISTORY_AGE security setting to take effect.

Comments: When you select a planning folder in one of the swimlanes and if X is greater than N, (where X = number of artifacts in the selected planning folder and N = PLANNING_BOARD_SWIM_LANE_LIMIT), the message, Swimlanes in the Board View is currently configured to show N artifacts only, appears at the bottom of the swimlane.

PLANNING_FOLDER_DESC_EDITOR

The PLANNING_FOLDER_DESC_EDITOR token allows you to choose the type of text that can be used in the planning folder description using the editor tool.

Values: Plain Text

Default: Plain Text

Default: INFO

POSTINSTALL_LOG_FILE

Specifies the log file location of baseline post install service.

Values: File path

RELAXED_USERNAME_MODE_ENABLED

The RELAXED_USERNAME_MODE_ENABLED token, if set to true, overrides the default TeamForge user naming convention that bars user names with anything but an alphabet as the first character.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Comments: This token is commented out (disabled) by default and is available in the site-options.conf file.

warning

While TeamForge can allow user names with anything but an alphabet as the first character, the same may not be true with all or some of the integrated applications you may have on your site. As a word of caution, consider the job at hand and understand the consequences before overriding TeamForge's default user naming convention.

REPORTS_DATABASE_NAME

The REPORTS_DATABASE_NAME token specifies the name of the site's reporting database, also known as the datamart.

Values: Alphanumeric string

Default: teamforge_datamart

Comments: It is OK for this token to have the same value as DATABASE_NAME, because they are running in separate pgsql processes.

REPORTS_DATABASE_PASSWORD

The REPORTS_DATABASE_PASSWORD token is the password for the Linux user that is authorized to read from and write to the site's reporting database.

Values: Alphanumeric string

Default: $auto$

Comments: It is OK for this token to have the same value as DATABASE_PASSWWORD, because they are running in separate PostgreSQL processes.

REPORTS_DATABASE_USERNAME

The REPORTS_DATABASE_USERNAME token specifies the Linux user that is authorized to read from and write to the site's reporting database.

Values: Alphanumeric string

Default: teamforge_datamart

Comments: For some advanced operations, you may need to log into the database as the database user. However, under normal conditions only the TeamForge site process itself needs to access the database.

It is OK for this token to have the same value as DATABASE_USERNAME, because they are running in separate PostgreSQL processes.

REPORTS_ENABLE_REPORT_GENERATION

The REPORTS_ENABLE_REPORT_GENERATION token is used to enable or disable the Reports tab in the UI.

Values: true or false

Default: true or false

Comments Datamart is enabled by adding the 'datamart' service to the HOST_<hostname>token. The service is disabled if datamart is not added. The default value of the REPORTS_ENABLE_REPORT_GENERATION token is based on this service.

REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY

The REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY token, if set to true, enforces password security policy for the site.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Comments: This token can be useful when an organization's security policy prohibits users from entering passwords without any restrictions. You can also set the PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE token with a date from which the password policy would be enforced. For more information, see PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE.

REQUIRE_RANDOM_ADMIN_PASSWORD

The REQUIRE_RANDOM_ADMIN_PASSWORD token restricts users from setting a random admin password.

Values: true or false.

Default: True (SaaS), false (BTF)

Comments: This token, when set to true, checks for a valid mail id in the ADMIN_EMAIL token.

REQUIRE_USER_PASSWORD_CHANGE

The REQUIRE_USER_PASSWORD_CHANGE token determines if the user password needs to be changed during the first login instance.

Values: true or false.

Default: false

Comments: Setting this token to true makes the new system force users to change password during first login and false otherwise.

RUNTIME_LOG_DIR

The RUNTIME_LOG_DIR token specifies the path where information about the activity of the TeamForge site's runtime environment is written.

Values: Path specification

Default: {__LOG_DIR__}/runtime

Values: none, all, html

You can set this token to "none" "all" or "html" that will force download of nothing, everything, or just html documents respectively.

Default: none

SCM_DEFAULT_SHARED_SECRET

The SCM_DEFAULT_SHARED_SECRET token allows SCM Integrations to securely communicate with the TeamForge Application Server.

Values:

  • Alpha-numeric
  • Special characters like '~!@#$%^&*'
  • 16-24 byte length

Default: The default value is automatically generated during runtime.

SCM_SOAP_TIMEOUT

The SCM_SOAP_TIMEOUT token is used to specify the connection timeout of the SCM soap requests between the APP and SCM servers.

Values: Integer (Milliseconds)

Default: 300000

SCM_USER_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD

The SCM_USER_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD token is used to store the encrypted scmviewer password.

Default: {__LOG_DIR__}/james

SEARCH_MAX_FILE_SIZE

The SEARCH_MAX_FILE_SIZE token sets an upper limit to the size of files that are indexed for search.

Values: Integer (bytes)

Default: 10M

Comments: A value of zero or less specifies that there is no limit, which is the same as the default behavior without the token.

SEARCH_SUPPRESS_ARCHIVE_SUB_DOCS

The SEARCH_SUPPRESS_ARCHIVE_SUB_DOCS token prevents archive files from being indexed for search.

Archive files include zip, gzip, tar, and similar file types. They also include document files that are stored in archive format, such as docx files from Microsoft Word 2007.

Values: true or false

Default: true

SECURE_REDIRECTS

This token which is false by default, if set to true, redirects your CTF instance to the allowed hostname(s) as specified in the site-options.conf token ALLOWED_HOSTS.

Values: true or false

Default: false

SERVICE_MONITOR_RETRIES

Number of retries of monit before restarting the service. Default value of this token is 0.

Values: Integer

Default: 0

Also See: teamforge reload command.

SESSION_COOKIES_ONLY

the SESSION_COOKIES_ONLY token restricts the persistence of all cookies to the user's current session.

If SESSION_COOKIES_ONLY=true, then all cookies created during the user session expire automatically when the user closes their browser. If it is false, the cookie expires according to the system logic for that particular cookie.

Values: true or false

Default: false

Comments: This token can be useful when an organization's security policy prohibits cookies that persist across user sessions.

SESSION_TIMEOUT

Use this token to set the user session timeout duration for newly created Application Server/Integration Server sessions.

Values: A positive value in the range of 1-1440.

Default: The default value of the SESSION_TIMEOUT token is 30 minutes (for security reasons). You may change this to any value in the range of 1-1440 (minutes). However, you must create runtime for the changes to take effect.

Also See: teamforge reload command.

SOAP_ANONYMOUS_SHARED_SECRET

The SOAP_ANONYMOUS_SHARED_SECRET token allows users to have an anonymous login to the TeamForge site through SOAP.

Values: String (possibly encrypted)

Default: None

Comments: The token must be configured to a non-empty value if users need to have an anonymous login to the site through SOAP. A value must be provided if site-wide reporting is enabled.

SOAP_ARTIFACT_LIST_LIMIT

The SOAP_ARTIFACT_LIST_LIMIT token is used to limit the number of artifacts returned via SOAP calls.

Values: Integer

Default: -1

This means that the artifact list retrieved via SOAP is unlimited.

Comments: In TeamForge releases earlier than 6.1.1, SOAP calls returned everything that was asked for, and that is the default behavior in TeamForge 6.1.1 as well. However, sites with performance and stability issues (OutOfMemory errors) in returning a large number of artifacts can now limit the number using this token. Changing this value requires a recreate-runtime and thus a site restart.

important

Increasing the number of artifacts beyond the optimal 20,000 - 25,000 range might cause a heap dump.

SSL_CERT_FILE

The SSL_CERT_FILE specifies the path where the TeamForge site's Secure Socket Layer certificate is stored.

Values: Path specification

Default: None

SSL_CHAIN_FILE

The SSL_CHAIN_FILE token specifies the path where the TeamForge site's SSL certficate chain file is stored.

Values: Timeout value in number of seconds.

Default: 60

SYSTEM_EMAIL

The SYSTEM_EMAIL token specifies a valid email address for the system administrator responsible for this site.

  • System administrators can use this email address to set up outage alerts and other notifications.
  • The mail account specified must be hosted on a separate server from the TeamForge site server.
  • The SYSTEM_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL, and JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL tokens can specify the same address.

Values: Email address specification

Default: root@{__APPLICATION_HOST__}

important

In TeamForge 6.x, the sender name and address for system-generated emails is taken from the value of the SYSTEM_EMAIL token. Therefore, changing the admin user's full name or email address does not affect the sender details of system-generated emails. This is different from TeamForge 5.x, in which the sender name and address for system-generated emails is derived from the admin user's full name and email address.

USE_BROWSER_CACHE_PASSWORD

The USE_BROWSER_CACHE_PASSWORD token restricts the storage of password in the browser when you login to the site.

Values: true/false

Default: true

Values: true or false

Default: false

USE_STATIC_SENDER_EMAIL

The USE_STATIC_SENDER_EMAIL token, if set to true, assigns the Return-Path parameter in the TeamForge notification email header with a noreply@<user's email domain> email ID. This prevents Out of Office replies from being posted to artifacts and discussion forums.

On the other hand, the USE_STATIC_SENDER_EMAIL token, if set to false, assigns the Return-Path parameter in the TeamForge notification email header with the email ID of the user (for example, tom@forge.collab.net) whose action triggers the notification email. In this case, Out of Office replies are posted to artifacts and discussion forums. If the user is a Site Administrator, the Return-Path parameter in the TeamForge notification email header is assigned with the email ID root@<TeamForge domain name>.

Values: true or false

Default: false

USER_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTED

The USER_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTED token determines whether newly created users are "restricted" or "unrestricted" users by default.

  • Restricted users can access only public projects and projects of which they are members.
  • Unrestricted users can access all projects except private projects of which they are not members.

Values: true or false

Default: true

USER_MONITORING_REMOVE_ENABLED

Set the USER_MONITORING_REMOVE_ENABLED token to true, if you want to enable the feature that lets you remove one or more users from monitoring selected TeamForge objects.

Values: true or false

Default: false

USER_NEED_PERMISSION_TO_VIEW_FULL_USER_DETAILS

The USER_NEED_PERMISSION_TO_VIEW_FULL_USER_DETAILS token restricts users from viewing other users' organization information.

Values: true or false

Default: false

USERS_WITH_NO_EXPIRY_PASSWORD

The USERS_WITH_NO_EXPIRY_PASSWORD token specifies the users for whom there is no expiry of password. The token is enabled by default.

Values: Specify the usernames (for the user accounts) for which there is no expiry of password.

Specifies the CRON expression to synchronize user information for every N minute(s) between baseline and TeamForge databases.

Values: 1, 2, .... N (minutes)

Default: 1 minute

Using Multi-line Blocks for Site Options

The multi-line block configuration is generally used by old SFEE sites. To define a site-options.conf token with a multi-line block value, you need to follow a certain syntax.

  • Declare the token name with the value START_MULTILINE_BLOCK. Syntax: <TOKEN_NAME>=START_MULTILINE_BLOCK
  • Specify the multi-line values beneath the token.
  • Complete the multi-line block with END_MULTILINE_BLOCK after all the multi-line values are specified. Syntax: END_MULTILINE_BLOCK

Example:

SOURCEFORGE_CONFIGURATION_PROPERTIES_APPEND=START_MULTILINE_BLOCK
email.suppress.project_member_added=true
email.suppress.scm_user_password_synchronized=true
END_MULTILINE_BLOCK

WEBR_ADMIN_USER

Specifies the user name of TeamForge Webhooks-based Event Broker Administrator.

Values: webradmin, webradministrator, ....

WEBR_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Specifies the password of TeamForge Webhooks-based Event Broker Administrator.

Value: abc, abc123, ....

WEBR_HTTP_BINDNAME

WEBR is, by default, bound to port 3000 and https. However, you can bind the WEBR service to http and to any other port of choice. Use the WEBR_HTTP_BINDNAME token to bind WEBR to any http port of choice.

Here's an example of how to bind WEBR to port 3009.

WEBR_HTTP_BINDNAME=:3009
WEBR_HTTP_BINDNAME=localhost:3009

WEBR_INIT_JSFILE

Use this token to load an initial Javascript (JS) file to the WEBR's native JS virtual machine. The initial JS file configured via this token is executed first before the subscription script.

The use case is to load a script to the JS VM that any script can have access to. For example, you can load a script that has a few variable definitions and make the variables commonly available to all other scripts.

Here's an example.

WEBR_INIT_JSFILE=./initialJSfile.js

An Illustration

  1. Create an init.js file in current directory with the following content:

    var custname = "umakanthan";
    var othername = $inmessage.Name;
  2. Add the WEBR_INIT_JSFILE token to the site-options.conf file as:

    WEBR_INIT_JSFILE=./init.js
  3. Create a subscription with the following subscription script:

    $outmessage = 'My name is Uma,'+ custname + ' ' + othername;
  4. Send a message to the Sync event with following payload:

    {
    "Name": "uma111"
    }

    Here's the response you get:

    My name is Uma, umakanthan uma111
note

The init code is run just after creating the $inmessage and other internal variables. So these should be accessible inside the init script.
