General Settings¶
Under Administration > Settings (/v2/admin/settings), global system parameters are managed.
System Properties¶
System properties control the behavior of the application:
| Property | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Application Name | Displayed system name | calServer |
| Default Language | Fallback language | de |
| Timezone | System timezone | Europe/Berlin |
| Date Format | Display format for dates | dd.MM.yyyy |
| Page Logo | Customer-specific logo | (Upload) |
Resources¶
Under Resources, cross-cutting system resources are configured:
- Enable/disable available modules
- Set system-wide default values
- Branding settings
Feature Flags¶
Restricted access
Feature flags are only visible to the hidden_super_admin and are used to control experimental features.
Feature flags allow targeted enabling or disabling of features without code changes.
Not in calServer V2: captcha and cookie banner¶
Anyone coming from calServer V1 will look for the Google reCAPTCHA, Friendly Captcha and cookie banner switches under Password & Security. They are not present in V2, deliberately: V2 verifies no captcha on login and renders no cookie banner.
A switch reading "protect the login with reCAPTCHA" that verifies nothing promises protection that is not there — worse than a missing switch. These settings were therefore removed from the V2 screen instead of merely being marked V1 only like other V1 rules.
The values are kept
The stored values in the property table are untouched. On an installation still running calServer V1, V1 keeps evaluating them and maintains them through its own admin screen. They return to the V2 screen once V2 evaluates them — not before.
Still present and effective in V2 is the login lockout (activate_number_of_failed_login / number_of_failed_login), which locks an account after too many failed login attempts.
