Configuration: Security
The following configuration values allow you to control the desired level of security in a RavenDB server. For a more detailed explanation, please visit the Security Section.
Security.Certificate.Path
The path to .pfx certificate file. If specified, RavenDB will use HTTPS/SSL for all network activities.
Certificate setting priority order:
1. Path
2. Executable
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.Certificate.Password
The (optional) password of the .pfx certificate file.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.Certificate.Exec
A command or executable providing a .pfx certificate file. If specified, RavenDB will use HTTPS/SSL for all network activities. The certificate path setting takes precedence over executable configuration option.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.Certificate.Exec.Arguments
The command line arguments for the 'Security.Certificate.Exec' command or executable.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.Certificate.Exec.TimeoutInSec
The number of seconds to wait for the certificate executable to exit.
- Type:
int - Default:
30 - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.Certificate.LetsEncrypt.Email
The E-mail address associated with the Let's Encrypt certificate. Used for renewal requests.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.MasterKey.Path
The path of the (256-bit) Master Key. If specified, RavenDB will use this key to protect secrets.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.MasterKey.Exec
A command or executable to run which will provide a (256-bit) Master Key, If specified, RavenDB will use this key to protect secrets.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.MasterKey.Exec.Arguments
The command line arguments for the 'Security.MasterKey.Exec' command or executable.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.MasterKey.Exec.TimeoutInSec
The number of seconds to wait for the Master Key executable to exit.
- Type:
int - Default:
30 - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.UnsecuredAccessAllowed
If authentication is disabled, set the address range type for which server access is unsecured (None | Local | PrivateNetwork | PublicNetwork).
- Type:
flags - Default:
Local - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.DoNotConsiderMemoryLockFailureAsCatastrophicError
Determines whether RavenDB will consider memory lock error to be catastrophic. This is used with encrypted databases to ensure that temporary buffers are never written to disk and are locked to memory. Setting this to true is not recommended and should be done only after a proper security analysis has been performed.
- Type:
bool - Default:
false - Scope: Server-wide or per database
Warning
Use with caution.
Security.DisableHttpsRedirection
Disable automatic redirection when listening to HTTPS. By default, when using port 443, RavenDB redirects all incoming HTTP traffic on port 80 to HTTPS on port 443.
- Type:
bool - Default:
false - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.AuditLog.FolderPath
The path to a folder where RavenDB will store the access audit logs.
- Type:
string - Default:
null - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.AuditLog.RetentionTimeInHours
How far back we should retain audit log entries.
- Type:
int - Default:
365 * 24 - Scope: Server-wide only
Security.WellKnownCertificates.Admin
Allow to specify well known certificate thumbprints that will be trusted by the server as cluster admins.
- Type:
strings seperated by ; - Example:
