| <h2>NNTP Configuration<a name="NNTP_Configuration"></a></h2> |
| |
| <p>The NNTP service is controlled by a two configuration blocks in the config.xml. These are the nntpserver block and the nntp-repository block.</p> |
| |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3>The nntpserver block<a name="The_nntpserver_block"></a></h3> |
| |
| <p>The nntpserver tag defines the boundaries of the configuration block. It encloses |
| much of the relevant configuration for the NNTP server.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>This tag has an optional boolean attribute - <b>enabled</b> - that defines whether the service is active or not. The value defaults to "true" if |
| not present.</p> |
| |
| <p>The standard children of the nntpserver tag are:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><b>port</b> - This is an optional integer value. This value is the port on which this NNTP server is configured |
| to listen.If the tag or value is omitted, the value will default to the standard NNTP port, 119.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>bind</b> - This is an optional value. If present, this value is a string describing |
| the IP address to which this service should be bound. If the tag or value is absent then the service |
| will bind to all network interfaces for the machine.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>useTLS</b> - This is an optional boolean value. If this value is true, then the "ssl" |
| server socket factory is used to generate the server socket for this service. If it is false, the |
| "plain" server socket factory is used. In either case this behavior is overridden by the serverSocketType |
| tag which is described under the expert configuration options.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>handler</b> - This is an artifact preserved for backwards compatibility. This tag |
| was used to group related parameters. It should disappear in future versions.</li> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><b>helloName</b> - This is a required tag with an optional body that defines the server name |
| used in the initial service greeting. The tag may have an optional attribute - <b>autodetect</b>. If |
| the autodetect attribute is present and true, the service will use the local hostname |
| returned by the Java libraries. If autodetect is absent or false, the body of the tag will be used. In |
| this case, if no body is present, the value "localhost" will be used.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>connectionTimeout</b> - This is an optional tag with a non-negative integer body. </li> |
| |
| <li><b>authRequired</b> - This is an optional tag with a boolean body. If true, then the server will |
| require authentication before allowing the client to view news articles. If this tag is absent, or the value |
| is false then the client will not be prompted for authentication. Only simple user/password authentication is |
| supported at this time.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>There are a few additional children of the nntpserver tag that are appropriate for advanced |
| configurations. These should only be used by expert administrators. All tags in this group are optional.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><b>serverSocketFactory</b> - This is an optional tag with a string body. If the tag is present, |
| the body must be the name of one of the server socket factories specified in the socket manager block. Any other |
| value will result in an error. If present, this tag overrides the useTLS tag.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>threadGroup</b> - This is an optional tag with a string body. If the tag is present, |
| the body must be the name of one of the thread groups specified in the thread manager block. Any other |
| value will result in an error. This tag is best used to fine tune thread allocation between the services.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>connectionLimit</b> - The connectionLimit parameter specifies the maximum number of client |
| connections that this service will allow. If no value is specified, the value defaults to that specified in |
| the connectionmanager block. A value of 0 means that there is no limit imposed |
| by the service, although resource limitations imposed by other components |
| (i.e. max # of threads) may serve to limit the number of open connections.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3>The nntp-repository block<a name="The_nntp-repository_block"></a></h3> |
| The remainder of the NNTP service configuration is controlled by the nntp-repository configuration block. This |
| section of configuration data relates to the server-side NNTP article repository. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><b>readOnly</b> - This is a required boolean tag. If the value is true, posting will not be |
| permitted by the NNTP server.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>rootPath</b> - This is a required string tag. It must be in the form of a URL with a "file:" prefix. This |
| specifies the root directory for the NNTP repository. Groups hosted on the NNTP server will be represented as |
| folders under this root, and articles will be stored in the appropriate folders.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>tempPath</b> - This is a required string tag. It must be in the form of a URL with a "file:" prefix. This |
| specifies the directory where the NNTP server will store posted articles before they are added to the spool.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>articleIDPath</b> - This is a required string tag. It must be in the form of a URL with a "file:" prefix. This |
| specifies the directory where the NNTP server will store the mappings between article ID and the groups containing that article.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>articleIDDomainSuffix</b> - This is a required string tag. It is the suffix appended to all article IDs generated |
| by this NNTP server.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>newsgroups</b> - This is a required container tag. It has a single <b>newsgroup</b> child for each newsgroup |
| hosted on the server. The body of each of those <b>newsgroup</b> tags is the name of the newsgroup.</li> |
| </ul> |
