[DEPRECATED] Downloading local files without browser modification

You can edit the file DATAFARI_HOME/tomcat/conf/datafari.properties to edit the configuration of Datafari.

• ALLOWLOCALFILEREADING

It is related to the content that you index with ManifoldCF : local filesystem crawling.
It allows you to change the way that you can open local files in the Datafari Search interface.

If the setting is at true, it means that you do not need any extension installed on your browser to open local files (see this page for information about it). Indeed Datafari opens the file for you and sends it to you directly when you click on the document link.

If the setting is at false, you need to have specific settings enabled on your browser to open the document because it becomes a normal link to the resource.
