The IBI_Push_Image setting in the Advanced Settings category of the Administration Console specifies whether to upload images that are stored in the repository, to the Reporting Server for embedding in reports and HTML pages. The default value is False.

The Run User Audit option, which is located in the License Management window of the WebFOCUS Administration Console, evaluates the repository license usage for Managed Reporting, InfoAssist, and Data Visualization. It produces a License Analysis report with information on the total number of licenses by license type, the number of licenses in use by license type, and an analysis of license assignment by Group and by User, as shown in the following image.

You can also run the User Audit utility (license_audit.bat) from your local WebFOCUS installation directory, which is available in the following location:

drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS\81\utilities\mr

When you run this program, the License Analysis report (auditUserCounts.htm) is created in the same directory.

As of Release 8.1 Version 05, the ZIP All button appears when you select the All Clients, Client Connection, MR Deferred Ticket, Cleanup Utility, or WF Servlet pages from the Traces folder of the Diagnostics menu on the Administration Console. This button saves copies of all trace files on display into a single zip file, as shown in the following image.

WebFOCUS provides enhanced protection against SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks by using a centralized filter to validate all product variables by URI. When a request fails the validation test, the request is not validated and a generic error message is displayed to the user. Blocked requests are logged for administrator review and violations are aggregated into a list that can be used to develop new filters.

New setting to specify default parameter prompting behavior for Managed Reporting procedures when the Prompt for Parameters setting is unchecked and Managed Reporting Prompting is enabled by IBIMR_prompting.

IBIMR_promptingUnset

Enables or disables parameter prompting for Managed Reporting procedures (FEXes) when IBIMR_prompting is set to XMLPROMPT or XMLRUN, and the Prompt for Parameters setting is unchecked in the FEX Properties dialog box. Possible values are:

• XMLRUN. Prompts for parameters (amper variables) that do not have a value. This is the default value.
• OFF. Turns off parameter prompting.

Setting IBIMR_promptingUnset to OFF specifies not to prompt for parameters, enabling the configuration of the default behavior prior to Release 8.0 Version 07.

You can set the IBI_Move_Confirmation_Message parameter to specify whether WebFOCUS will request confirmation when a user moves a folder using a drag-and-drop operation. The default value is False.

For more information, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual.

The IBI_XFrameOptions setting in the Filters category of the Administration Console prevents your content from being embedded in other sites, as a security measure against clickjacking attacks.

The IBI_Message_Detail setting in the Security category of the Administration Console determines when users receive detailed or simplified error messages. The detailed message appears in the event.log for administrator troubleshooting.

You can update any WebFOCUS Application Setting with the updateWebconfig.bat utility (for Windows) or the updateWebconfig.sh utility (for UNIX). These command line utilities modify the ibi\WebFOCUS81\config\webconfig.xml file and automatically encrypt any passwords you update.
