SUPPORT Q&A - Retrieve files from vault using VaultServer.aspx - for Viewer Actify

FLeclerc - Thursday, September 30, 2010 4:33 PM:

 

I need some help concerning  VaulServer.aspx.

The viewer Actify SpinFire retrieves by calling VaultServer.aspx; however it is not working.  The viewer does not download the file.  By clicking on the SpinFire icon, an error "Page cannot be found" 404 is returned (see picture).

An other exemple, it is possible to see file from the vault by File / Open menu.  That allows you to see text files and pictures in the browser; you can see the URL calling VaultServer.aspx.  If you Refresh the browser, an error is displayed.

 And if I copy/paste the URL in another browser, I got the same "Page  cannot be found" 404...

We are using:

-Aras Innovator 9.2
-Windows Server 2003
-IIS 6
-ASP.NET 2.0.507027

 

Thanks to help us to be able to call VaultServer page.

If found how to make VaultServer.aspx works to download files without the "Error 404 Page cannot be found".  It also allows Actify Spinfire viewer to display objects.  You need to modify the configuration file VaultServerConfig.xml, and add the following parameter: " <enforce_user_credentials>0</enforce_user_credentials> " within <VaultServer> markup.  
 
However, this brings a huge security issue since anyone with a valid VaultServer.aspx URL could download a file from the vault without having to log in Aras.  Like said in the post "Why degugging.html can't download file?" it should not be used in production... 
 
However, I see no other way for this viewer to work. If I found another way, I will post it here.
 
 
If you decided to disable enforce_user_credentials, you have to be aware of the risk.
