Customizing File Manager externals

Suggest Edits

Several aspects of File Manager externals such as color patterns, error messages and metadata attributes can be controlled server-side by editing a JSON configuration file named configuration-wui.json located here: 

<install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/<steng>/web/static/config.



The name of the STENG directory depends on the number of STENGs installed. E.g. steng00, steng01, etc.

A reference configuration-wui.json.sample file is part of the package. It is stored at the same path as the configuration-wui.json: <install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/<steng>/web/static/config.
This file contains the latest update to the file structure and can be used as reference. It is suggested not to delete it.

In the following sections you will find:

  • the default file
  • how to customize the File Manager Login window with your company logo
  • how to customize a footer in the Login window and in the main page
  • how to configure metadata to be specified when uploading files
