securedDirs

Property

securedDirs

Data type

string

Default

typo3temp|fileadmin

Description

List of directories of your TYPO3 Server in that files should be secured, separated by pipe (|). Files in subdirectories will also be secured. You can use Regular Expressions for this option.

securedFiletypes

Property

securedFiletypes

Data type

string

Default

pdf|jpe?g|gif|png|odt|pptx?|docx?|xlsx?|zip|rar|tgz|tar|gz

Description

List of file types (file extensions) that should be protected. Multiple file extension patterns can be separated by a pipe (|). You can use an asterisk (*) if you want to protect all files within configured directories. You can use Regular Expressions for this option.

domain

Property

domain

Data type

string

Default

http://mydomain.com/|http://my.other.domain.org/

Description

This is only required for absolute file links to your local server, e.g. https://example.com//fileadmin/image.jpg. Not needed for internal (relative) links. Please note, that this configuration property is deprecated. Parsing the HTML output will no longer work with version 5. You should consider to use the TYPO3 API instead. You can use Regular Expressions for this option.

linkPrefix

Property

linkPrefix

Data type

string

Default

securedl

Description

Prefix for generated links (the "securedl" part in “https://example.com/securedl/sdl-[JWT]/image.png”).

tokenPrefix

Property

linkPrefix

Data type

string

Default

sdl-

Description

Prefix for generated token (the "sdl-" part in “https://example.com/securedl/sdl-[JWT]/image.png”).

cachetimeadd

Property

cachetimeadd

Data type

positive integer

Default

3600

Description

The secure link is only valid for a limited time, which is calculated from the cache time that is used for the page that carries the link plus this value (in seconds).

documentRootPath

Property

documentRootPath

Data type

string

Default

/

Description

Do only change this configuration option, if your TYPO3 instance is running in a subfolder or you are using a SSL reverse proxy to map TYPO3 into a virtual subfolder. This configuration must start and end with a slash (e.g. “/proxy-typo3/”).

enableGroupCheck

Property

enableGroupCheck

Data type

boolean

Default

false

Description

Allows forwarding a secure download link to others, who can access that file if they have at least one front-end user group in common. Enabling this makes the checks less restrictive!

groupCheckDirs

Property

groupCheckDirs

Data type

string

Default

unset

Description

A list of directories for the less restrictive group check, separated by a pipe (|). Leave empty if you want to enable the group check for all directories.

excludeGroups

Property

excludeGroups

Data type

string

Default

-1,0

Description

A comma separated list of groups that are excluded from the group check feature (if enabled).

strictGroupCheck

Property

strictGroupCheck

Data type

boolean

Default

false

Description

If enabled, files are only delivered if the user groups exactly match those of the secured link.

outputFunction

Property

outputFunction

Data type

options

Default

stream

Description

Due to possible restrictions in php and php settings, you probably need to adjust this value. By default “readfile” is used to deliver the file. If this function is disabled in your php settings, you can try “fpassthru”. If you have problems with php memory_limit and big files to download, you need to set this to “stream”, which delivers the files in small portions. The option “readfile_chunked” is deprecated, but does the same as “stream” for now. For nginx web servers, there is also the possibility to deliver the file directly from the server by setting this property to “x-accel-redirect”.

protectedPath

Property

protectedPath

Data type

string

Default

unset

Description

Only applicable if you use x-accel-redirect (see: outputFunction). Specify the protected path used in your nginx location directive. A matching nginx location directive needs to be added.

Example

location /internal {
    internal;
    alias /path/to/your/protected/storage;
}

outputChunkSize

Property

outputChunkSize

Data type

positive integer

Default

1048576

Description

Only applicable if you use “readfile_chunked” or “stream” as output function (see: outputFunction). Specify the number of bytes, served as one chunk when delivering the file. Choosing this value too low is a performance killer. Please note, that this property is deprecated and will be removed in version 5.

forcedownload

Property

forcedownload

Data type

boolean

Default

false

Description

If this is checked some file types are forced to be downloaded (see: forcedownloadtype) in contrast of being embedded in the browser window.

forcedownloadtype

Property

forcedownloadtype

Data type

string

Default

odt|pptx?|docx?|xlsx?|zip|rar|tgz|tar|gz

Description

A list of file types that should not be opened inline in a browser, separated by a pipe. Only used if “forcedownload” (see: forcedownload) is enabled. You can use an asterisk (*) if you want to force download for all file types. You can use Regular Expressions for this option.

additionalMimeTypes

Property

additionalMimeTypes

Data type

string

Default

txt|text/plain,html|text/html

Description

Comma separated list of additional MIME types (file extension / mime type pairs, in which file extension and MIME type is separated by a pipe symbol). Can be used to override existing MIME type settings of the extension as well. Please note, that this property is deprecated and will be removed in version 5. You should use the TYPO3 API for adding additional MIME types.

log

Property

log

Data type

boolean

Default

false

Description

Each file access will be logged to database, this could be a performance issue, if you have a high traffic site. If you decide to turn it on, a backend module will be activated to see the traffic caused by user/ file

debug

Property

debug

Data type

options

Default

0

Description

For developing only. This configuration is deprecated. Please consider to use PSR-3 Logger.
