Parameters

Parameter

Required / Optional

Description

ContractManager!UseAuthentication Optional

Boolean flag that specifies whether to enable authentication for executing SOAP calls on the Contract Manager.

  • If set to True, then the calling application should supply an application name as the user name and its application key as the password. For more information, see the Applications topic.
  • If set to False, anyone with access to the Contract Manager can execute any SOAP call on its interface without additional authentication.
Security!TLSVersions

Optional

The versions of the TLS protocol that are supported by the Contract Manager. Possible values are:
  • TLS_11_12_13. Allows TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 .
  • TLS_11_12. Allows TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 .

  • TLS_13. Allows TLS 1.3 .

    At the moment, Microsoft Word does not support TLS 1.3. If you use TLS 1.3 only, you cannot open Word documents in KCM Designer.

When omitted, defaults to TLS_11_12_13.

TLS 1.3 requires support in Java, and support in .NET on the server OS. If you choose to use TLS_13 only, make sure that these requirements are met.
ContractManager!UseLDAP Optional

Boolean flag that specifies whether users can log in to KCM Designer using LDAP authentication.

  • If set to True, users can log in to KCM Designer with their LDAP user accounts.
  • If set to False, users can log in to KCM Designer with internal user accounts that are managed by the KCM Repository server.
ContractManager!LDAPPropertiesFile

Required if ContractManager!UseLDAP was set to True

The configuration file for LDAP authentication.

ContractManager!ImportConfigurationFile Optional

Path to exported configuration file that will be loaded automatically when the Contract Manager is started.

See the Export Contract Manager configuration topic.

ContractManager!ImportInfrastructure Required when ContractManager!ImportConfigurationFile has a value. Boolean flag that specifies whether the exported configuration should be loaded with or without infrastructure.

See the Export Contract Manager configuration topic for details.
