Prevent specific file types from being uploaded

By default, Job Ticketing allows operators and customers to upload any file type. This can, however, put your Application Server at risk of potential viruses/security issues. If you want, you can block specific file types so that they cannot be uploaded.

To prevent specific file types from being uploaded:

1. Stop the Job Ticketing service.

2. Open the following file in a text editor: <install path>/job-ticketing/config/application.properties

3. Locate the following line in the file: file-type-blacklist=

4. Add the extensions you want to block in a comma separated list. For example:

   file-type-blacklist=exe,bat,xlsx

5. Save the file.

6. Restart the Job Ticketing service.

7. Test the configuration by trying to upload the blocked file types.
