How to Customize Your Sitecore Connector Using web.config

The web.config file provides the following settings that can be changed:

1. SqlConnectionTimeout:
   • Specifies the connection timeout in seconds for each request to the SQL server.
   • Default value: 30.
     
2. SqlConnectionTimeout:
   • Specifies the command timeout in seconds for each request to the SQL server.
   • Default value: 60.
     
3. CredentialsCacheAuthType:
   • Specify the authentication type when the Connector is configured to use Windows Authentications for REST API requests.
   • Default value is "Negotiate."
     
4. HttpRequestTimeout:
   • Specifies the timeout in seconds for each request to the REST API.
   • Default value: 100.
     
5. IngoreCertificateValidation:
   • Set to "true" if you want to bypass the server certificate validation when making REST API requests.
   • Default value: "false."
     
6. DefaultExtension:
   • If no extension property is retrieved for an item, this value will be used as a default.
   • Default value: "html"

The values for the following properties are constant for the supported versions of Sitecore and for each Sitecore instance.

1. RootFolderID
2. RootTemplateID
3. StandardTemplateId

These values are changed only as part of:

• Debugging
• Troubleshooting
• As part of changes to the Sitecore databases after performing an upgrade.
