Dynamic configuration

Comentario runtime configuration

The dynamic, or runtime, configuration of Comentario server can be set in the Administration UI.

As opposed to the static config, which can only be changed on server start-up, dynamic items can be changed on-the-fly, and they apply immediately.

Managing dynamic configuration

You have to be a superuser to manage dynamic configuration.

In order to view or edit the dynamic configuration, open the Administration UI and navigate to AdministrationConfigurationDynamic.
