mms.cfg settings

Environment:

Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit

Internet Explorer 11

Adobe Flash Player 26.0.0.151/27.0.0.130

We're trying to set up mms.cfg settings to be the equivalent of the following settings in the Local Settings Manager.

For Local Storage Settings - "Block all sites from storing information on this computer"

For Camera and Microphone settings - "Block all sites from using the camera and microphone" (We think AVHardwareDisable=1 is correct for this setting)

For Peer-assisted Networking - "Block all sites from peer-assisted networking".  (We think RTMFPP2Disable=1 is correct for this setting)

So, what are the equivalent mms.cfg settings to mimic the Local Storage Settings "Block all sites from storing information on this computer"?  We've done extensive testing with the Local Storage "Block" setting and it works well for us.  We would like to migrate the equivalent to the mms.cfg file for administrative purposes.

The System Administrator's Guide has a nice comprehensive reference of these settings:

LocalStorageLimit=1 should prevent the storage of Local Shared Objects.  What behavior are you observing that indicates that this flag isn't being honored? (As you've pointed out, "storing information" is definitely vague.)

Also, are you sure that mms.cfg is installed in the right location?  The system administrator's guide has details on pp.24 that might be more up-to-date.

It *is* probably worth pointing out that the settings you change in mms.cfg don't update the UI.  If you're looking to see whether or not the settings changed, that's not going to help you validate that the flag is in effect.  You'd have to actually test it against some functionality and observe the correct behavior.

Hi,

For Disable Local Storage, use LocalStorageLimit=1

The other 2 options you have are correct:

For Disable Camera Microphone, use AVHardwareDisable=1

And for, Disable Peer-assisted Networkding, use RTMFPP2Disable=1

Thank you for your response.  It seems to me that LocalStorageLimit affects the settings shown below.

versus

It would be reasonable to assume that if you set LocalStorageLimit=1 (no storage) then that would block all sites from storing information on the client.  I guess it all hinges on what "storing information" means - that's not very specific.

Please see the comments in mms.cfg LocalStorageLimit options

According to that thread, LocalStorageLimit=1 didn't prevent sites from storing on the local machine.

Is the proposed solution of ThirdPartyStorage setting of '0' and a LocalStorageLimit of '0' incorrect?  I don't see a "0" setting for LocalStorageLimit in the Admin Guide.
