By default, View cannot access documents in the local file system. Additionally, by default, it cannot access UNC paths to Windows shared folders that contain dollar symbols ($). You must enable View to access documents in these directories by using the IDOL Server configuration file.
Open the IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.
Find the [Viewing]
section, or create one if it does not exist.
Set the ViewLocalDirectoriesCSVs
parameter to a comma-separated list of directories that contain documents that you want to allow the View service to access. You must list the full paths. For example:
[Viewing] ViewLocalDirectoriesCSVs=C:\Shared,C:\PDFs
View can access these directories and any subdirectories, and it can convert documents within these directories to HTML for display.
To allow the View service to access Windows shared folders that contain dollar symbols ($), you must set ViewAllowedSpecialUNCPathsCSVs
to a comma-separated list of these paths. For example:
ViewAllowedSpecialUNCPathsCSVs=C:\Shared$Files\
To allow the View service to access only the listed directories, set RestrictToAllowedDirectories
to True
. This parameter prevents the View service from accessing any directory or URL that is not listed. By default, only local disk access is restricted and the View service can access any (non-special) UNC path or Web URL.
Save and close the configuration file. Restart IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.
