Configure VetView LDAP, Database, & other Configuration

Configuration Files

The VetView project contains four files that must be customized to your institution's settings.  These files are named:

• VetView-authentication-config.properties
• VetView-database-config.properties
• VetView-communication-config.properties

These files will be found at in the WEB-INF/classes folder (inside your VetView installation folder).

Configuring/Disabling LDAP

To configure the LDAP settings, open the VetView-authentication-config.properties file and change the settings to match your institution's.  If your ldap requires more settings, you can add lines to this file.  

To disable LDAP completely (and rely solely on local VetView accounts), open the file and comment out each line with a '#'.
