Desktop Host can communicate only with domains that are included in a preconfigured whitelist. You can edit the config.json file included in the Desktop Host installation. This file is delivered with the installer for Desktop Host. When you run the installer, the file is copied to the ..\bin directory of the installed application. You can edit the file before or after installation. If you edit the file after installation, you must restart the computer to honor the new list of domains.

To add or modify domains to a whitelist:

  1. Open the config.json file in a plain-text editor. In a typical installation, this file is in one of the following locations:
    • Before installation, the file is in the same directory as the installer.
    • After Windows installation, the file is in C:\ProgramData\Hyland\DesktopHost\bin.
  2. In the WhitelistedAddress section, enter the domains that you want to whitelist. Each domain must be in double quotation marks, and multiple domains must be separated with commas. For example: 
    {
"WhitelistedAddress": [
"https://www.example.com",
"https://www.example2.com"
]
}

    Only include the domains for addresses that you want to whitelist; do not include full URL addresses. For example, to communicate with https://www.example.com/public/, include only https://example.com on the whitelist.

    Note: By default, the whitelist contains the domain 127.0.0.1:8080. You may remove or modify this domain if you do not want to allow communication at that address.
  3. Save the config.json file.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • If you have not yet installed Desktop Host, place the config.json file in the same folder as the Desktop Host installer.
    • If you have already installed Desktop Host, restart the computer.
