Plus feature request. - Messages en-us http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Jitbit AspNetForum Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:02:37 GMT Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:02:37 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=483
Just to fill in some gaps, there were a few pieces from the "web" part that are important. Previous versions of Secret Server actually stored file attachments in the "fileuploads" directory in the web directory. With newer versions of Secret Server, all file attachments are stored in the database now, however legacy file attachments still are stored on the web directory rather that the database.

In addition to file attachments, the encryption.config file is required for Secret Server to be able to read the encrypted data in your database.

To sum up, the web portion is catching two important things: legacy file attachments, and the encryption key.

Regarding your feature request, thanks for that. I can certainly see that being a little confusing. I've logged a feature request and let the product manager know.]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:02:37 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=483
Also, with a DEV instance now stood up it's becoming apparent that email notifications from both Production and DEV look exactly a like. We got an e-mail about a backup failing and had to log into both systems to figure out which one it was talking about.

Feature Request: Ability to configure the subject line of automated messages somehow, OR, simply include the URL, server name, or some other uniquely identifiable token within the subject or body.
