+ | ====== Configuring iView 6 Front End Options ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Global Options ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | From the iView home page take the option: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{pub: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * **License File**: The Zend Server ID's display at the top of the page. Use the file dialog \\ | ||
+ | to upload a front end license file. When licensed, the Server ID licensed displays in green. | ||
+ | * **iView Schema**: enter the iView library name ( contents of data area DSIVIEWLIB ). This library\\ | ||
+ | contains the meta data and other tables needed by the web server. | ||
+ | * **iView Archive Root**: This is the root directory under which are stored the archived documents.\\ | ||
+ | This name is stored in data area DSIVIEWDIR. | ||
+ | * **iView Script URL**: The apparent subdirectory to the browser. The default will probably be correct. | ||
+ | THis is the location of the scripts and front end configuration. | ||
+ | * **Database**: | ||
+ | any defined database in WRKRDBDIRE. | ||
+ | * **DB Username and password**: This is an user profile used to connect to the DB2 database. | ||
+ | * **IBM i5 Server IP:Port**: The IP of the server hosting the front end and port used by the iView Apache instance.\\ | ||
+ | Normally | ||
+ | since it is the default http port. Port 10088 is the default install port for the Zend Server. | ||
+ | * **iView Admin Profile** ( *ANYONE or user profile ): User profile to administer the front end. They must be added\\ | ||
+ | as a user in the User Manager. | ||
+ | * **iMail Library**: If using iMail on this lpar and you wish to email archived documents through it, enter the IBM i \\ | ||
+ | library name here. | ||
+ | * **Jobqueue library/ | ||
+ | It must be accessible to the Zend Server and Zend profiles. QGPL/ | ||
+ | is probably a good setting. | ||
+ | * **Log file library/ | ||
+ | * **Maximum upload file size ( bytes )**: Maximum file size for dropped files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Users and Groups ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In iView 6 users, groups and access must be defined in the front end.\\ | ||
+ | Prior implementations used a simpler access control mechanism defined in greenscreen.\\ | ||
+ | Any existing security implementation is ignored by iView 6. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{pub: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Users**: | ||
+ | user must also exist in the IBM i user profiles. Most implementations use this authentication method. | ||
+ | * **Groups**: Define groups and add users to groups, purely for convenience. | ||
+ | * **Access**: All iView archives will be listed here. Grant access to users and/or groups as you see fit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Access now defaults to read access, " | ||
+ | allows users to add to the archive by dragging and dropping to the browser, and to delete from the archive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Content Types ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | iView 6 permits binary archiving, i.e. an authorized user may drag/drop any type of file\\ | ||
+ | from their desktop into the archive. In order for the web server to properly serve the file\\ | ||
+ | to the browser the content type must be configured. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that browsers are designed to work with certain types of documents and the prompting for download\\ | ||
+ | is the default behaviour when the browser does not know how to handle the file type. Even correct\\ | ||
+ | configuration of the content type may not prevent this. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{pub: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | A list of internet media types can be found here: [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | iView will use this configuration in its instructions to the browser. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | For content type, it will issue this instruction: | ||
+ | |||
+ | For disposition: | ||
+ | |||
+ | if the disposition is attachment, it will issue this instruction: | ||
+ | Otherwise it will issue this instruction: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Important**: | ||
