File Extension Whitelist
In order to upload files to the iEnterprise Mobile™ server, that file extension must first be in the File Extension Whitelist, otherwise a file upload error message will appear in the console view. Specific information on the error will be in the log.
On Upload to the iEnterprise Mobile™ server, the contents of a .zip file will be read. If your .zip file contains a file type that is not on the Whitelist, the entire .zip file will be rejected.
The File Extension Whitelist is located in the Administrator section of the Console Navigation List. In the main view for the Whitelist will display the following:
- Extension – The file type you want allowed for upload
- Content Type – The type of data in the file, such as image,application, text, etc.
- Edit Icon – Allows you to make changes to an existing entry.
- Delete Icon – Allows you to remove an configuration.
Adding a File Extension
- Click the 'Create New' button at the top of the view
- In the field marked "Extension", enter the extension you need to allow, such as "css", "pdf", "exe".
- In the section for "Content Type", enter the HTTP response Content-Type.
- Click the "Create" button to save your entry and have it added to the Whitelist, or the "X" to close the window without saving.
If you wish to add more than one type in a row, separate them by use of the pipe. An example would be: text/plain|text/html
In case of an upload failure after creating an entry, the log file error will specify what type of data was read on the upload. You may use that to make changes to your Whitelist to prevent future errors.
