Server Settings

System managers can configure the Laserfiche Server's settings: customize port handling, set a default repository, and configure system managers.

You will need to restart your Laserfiche Server service after modifying any of these values in order for the new values to take effect.

Note: This documentation includes instructions for volume operations in both the Laserfiche Repository Server Administration Tool and the Repository Desktop Administration Console. However, please note that the Repository Desktop Administration Console has been deprecated and we advise using the Server Administration Tool instead. See Deprecated Modules and Features for more information.
