Shopping Admin Console settings

Settings in the Shopping Admin Console are typically set during installation but you can modify them post-installation. Updates are picked up by the web application on session state expiration, which can be up to 20 minutes (defined in the web.config file). Click Save to implement your changes or Discard to revert to the changes.

Admin Console Settings

To make any changes effective, you must:

restart IIS and if you are using multiple Web-only Shopping websites, restart IIS for all of them.
restart the Shopping Central service

Active Directory

The Active Directory (AD) Server alias or IP Address is required when installing the Shopping Database. These settings let you modify the way that AD is accessed and used.

From Shopping 5.3 onwards, all LDAP over SSL calls are made using secured ports (636 and 3269). However, there is a caveat to this security implementation. A number of Shopping components use native Windows APIs and native Windows controls to query the AD.

For example, the Select User or Group dialog, used to search for users, groups or machines in the domain, in the Shopping Admin Console is one such control. It is an in-built Windows control which provides network-based security using the Kerberos authentication protocol where:
Select user or group dialog

Only valid and registered domain network users can make LDAP calls to the domain controller – the Select User or Group dialog makes a Kerberos-based authentication before sending the LDAP query.
Communications between the Select User or Group dialog and the domain controller (DC) are Kerberos encrypted (sign and seal).
The Kerberos protocol uses unsecured ports (389 and 3268) for LDAP related communications with the domain controller. It results in the Select User or Group dialog using unsecured ports as it relies on Kerberos protocol for any interaction with the AD/DC.

By default, all native Windows APIs and Windows controls use the Kerberos security protocol and does not provide a means to configure it for the LDAP over SSL security feature. Shopping components will continue to make LDAP over SSL calls using secured ports (636 and 3269) where there is no dependency on the Kerberos protocol. For this reason, ports 389, 636, 3268 and 3269 must not be blocked on the domain controller. If they are restricted, then all the servers hosting Shopping components must be added to the exception list so that Shopping can make the specific LDAP calls.

Setting	Default value	Notes
AD Email Field	mail	The AD field that holds the email address for an account.
AD Manager Account Field	manager	The AD field that holds the manager account for an account.
