Specify a black list for Collaboration

You can specify a black list for Collaboration. Collaboration is a forum in which users can mention any URL in posts. It is therefore more appropriate to define a black list.

A white list or black list is a positive or negative list with which systems can be protected. White lists and black lists pursue opposing strategies.

A white list contains all permitted URLs. A blacklist, on the other hand, specifically excludes URLs.

Procedure. Procedure

  1. Navigate to <ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_ecp__<s, m, or l>, for example, C:\ARIS10.0\server\bin\work\work_ecp_m.

  2. Start ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) and establish a connection.

  3. Stop the Collaboration runnable. Enter, for example, stop ecp_<s, m, or l>.

  4. You must use regular expressions for the white list. A regular expression is a character string used to describe sets of character strings using certain syntactic rules.

    Enter reconfigure ecp_<s, m, or l> "JAVA-Dcom.aris.umc.blacklist.url.regex.pattern"="<comma-separated list of regular expressions>".

    Example

    If you want to block yahoo.com, use the following regular expression:

    (http(s)?://)?([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]+[\\yahoo\\.com]+(/[/?%&=]*)?

  5. Start the Collaboration runnable. Enter, for example, start ecp_<s, m, or l>.

You have specified a black list for ARIS Administration.

You can remove the black list again. To do so, proceed as described above and configure reconfigure ecp_m -"ecp.blacklist.url.regex.pattern".
