Hi,
We need to disable the option "Scan Network for Repositores" on client. How can we do it? Is there an configuration option that will do it?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Is this for individual Client workstations or all Client workstations? If this is for all Client workstations, then an alternative is to disable the disable the Laserfiche Server broadcast by preventing it from publishing its service connection point.
Starting with Laserfiche Server 9.1.1 SP1:
You can now configure the registry to stop the Laserfiche Server from automatically attempting to republish a service connection point in order to prevent client programs from being able to automatically detect the existence of the Laserfiche Server instance. Using the Windows Registry Editor, browse to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Laserfiche\Engine\8.0 key. Modify the value of SCPBindingPath by deleting the LDAP:// protocol prefix. (114274)
Note that in addition to making this registry change, you'd also need to remove the service connection point that may have already been registered.
Alexander, thanks for your response.
We are following the instruction, however we are kinda lost, we browsed to the indicated Key but didn't find the SCPBindingPath, and also we are not sure what do you mean by deleting the LDAP:// protocol prefix.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have not done this before so someone with experience using this may be better to advise you on this. You should be able to delete lfscpcfg.exe directly (or maybe rename) from the following LF 8 KB article. https://support.laserfiche.com/KB/1012732
But you may want to be careful because this also will change the way that some integrations may interact.
Be aware that this is a global change that affects more than just the Laserfiche Client Start Page's ability to list repositories when the Scan Network for Repositories option is enabled. For example, the affected server will not be included in the list of Laserfiche Servers returned when any program uses the LFApplication.GetAllServers() method in LFSO.
We usually just manually either disable the LF Client or export the registry key from another workstation as outlined in the KB https://support.laserfiche.com/KB/1011020
Noal,
We followed the KB's intruction, but it didn't work, we even restarted the laserfiche services.
Are we missing a step? Btw we didn't mentioned it before but we are using 9.2.
Thanks!
The scan network checkbox is controlled by a registry key, set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Laserfiche\Client8\Profile\Options\Thunk to a REG_SZ of 0.
