Below are the system-wide configuration settings required in Content Services.

Property Description
system.directAccessUrl.enabled Controls whether this feature is available, system-wide (for example false).

For DAUs to work, the feature needs to be enabled both system-wide and on the individual Content Store.
system.directAccessUrl.defaultExpiryTimeInSec Sets the default expiry time for the DAU across all Content Stores (for example 30).

Its value cannot exceed the system-wide maximum expiry time (system.directAccessUrl.maxExpiryTimeInSec) - it can only be equal or lower (otherwise all DAUs are disabled).
Note: This property is mandatory if DAUs are enabled system-wide - (otherwise all DAUs are disabled).
system.directAccessUrl.maxExpiryTimeInSec Sets the upper limit for the DAUs expiry time in seconds (for example 300, i.e. 5 minutes).

This means that a Content Store will be able to override this value but not exceed it, and the same goes for the clients. A service (Java Interface) client will be able to request a DAU for a custom expiry time but that time can't exceed this value. If the requested time exceeds the maximum value, the expiry time reverts to the default configured one.
Note: This property is mandatory if DAUs are enabled system-wide - (otherwise all DAUs are disabled).
