Content Server Manual / Version 2401
Table Of ContentsThe User Changes Spring Boot application tracks the changes a user has made in the content repository. Therefore, a user can, for example, start a publication workflow with all recently changed contents. However, some contents should be excluded from content tracking. Especially the home folder of a user or some system folders, which usually contain only configuration data rather than editorial content.
By default, the home folders follow the /Home/*/MyPreferences pattern. When you use an LDAP
user provider, the path to the MyPreferences folder (and to other folders) might be different,
because the home folders of the Active Directory users represent the OU structure in the AD. Therefore, you have
to add paths with a corresponding depth.
Adapt the configuration as follows:
In the Blueprint workspace, edit the
userchanges.excluded-pathsspring property. Through theuserchanges.excluded-user-namesproperty, you can freely define which users are excluded from the tracking.For a Docker deployment, add the property to
apps\user-changes\docker\user-changes\src\docker\config\application.properties.Add the default entries to the property:
/Home/*/EditorPreferences,/Home/*/My Preferences,/Home/*/My Dictionary,/System/Public Dictionary,/Home/*/EditorProfile
Add your own paths to the
EditorPreferences,My PreferencesandMy Dictionarydirectories to the property. Add wildcard elements matching the users' OUs, for example:/Home/*/*/*/My Preferences
When you now build the Blueprint workspace or the Studio Spring Boot application, the paths will be excluded for the User Changes Spring Boot application.
