Whitelist Locations

The purpose of the Whitelist location page is to allow admin users to Write documents to the locations they specify. If a location is not included in the page then Jobs/Tasks/Connectors that rely on the filesystem (below) will fail. For security reasons, only Admin users may access this page.

Note:  Upon upgrade the affected connectors and tasks will automatically have their configured paths added to the whilelist with is recursive set to off.

A non-comprehensive list of the Jobs/Tasks/Connectors that are affected by this functionality is:

  • MetadataJSONOutputTask

  • FilesystemConnector

  • FilesystemContentServiceConnector

  • BatchParserConnector

  • BFSConnector

  • AlfrescoPoster

  • UnzipFileTask

  • SeparateBinariesTask

Description of UI Elements

Save: Saves the page including deletes

Add: Adds a row to the UI for including a new location to whitelist (Save must be clicked for any changes to be recorded)

Location: The path on the 3Sixty filesystem that 3Sixty will allow Writes. May NOT be a Root path (Such as / for Unix-based systems or C:\ for Windows systems).

Is Recursive: Whether or not the path will allow recursive matches (i.e. whether folders/paths under the listed location will be allowed as well). For example, If you have job A and job B both writing to separate folders in the /Users/Documents folder (such as /Users/Documents/FolderA and /Users/Documents/FolderB) then setting Is Recursive to True (On) will allow both job A and job B to succeed, but having it False then you would need to define two new locations to allow them to run.
