Sysadmin Settings - Frontend

1.0 Introduction

This article describes the system level frontend settings that are configured by the Fortanix-Data-Security-Manager (DSM) system administrator.

The settings configured here are applicable to every object of the entire cluster.

2.0 Frontend

The FRONTEND setting defines the URL for the Fortanix DSM user interface (UI) assets and is preconfigured by default. In most deployments, you should not change this URL.

Modifying the DSM UI assets URL incorrectly can cause the web UI to stop working. If you need to change the URL, ensure the value is accurate. While the URL can be changed, if necessary, this setting typically remains unchanged in most deployments.

Perform the following steps to change the URL, if needed in rare cases:

1. In the DSM UI, navigate to System Administration → Settings → FRONTEND tab.

   

2. Click EDIT and update the DSM UI assets URL as required.

3. Click SAVE to apply the configuration.

NOTE

• After saving any changes to the Frontend settings, a rolling restart of the backend containers must be performed for the configuration to take effect. Until the restart is complete, a warning indicator (⚠) appears next to the tab name in the Settings menu, indicating that there are pending changes.

• Alternatively, you can revert the configuration change before the cluster restart begins, click CANCEL CHANGE in the Pending changes banner. In the Cancel changes dialog box, click DELETE to confirm and restore the previous configuration, or click CANCEL to return without making any changes.
