The Lucity web application allows users to attach and later view documents, images,urls, etc... to records in Lucity. The purpose of the Documents tool is to provide a way to attach that document to a related record. Therefore, a link to the document is stored in Lucity, not the actual document itself.
Note: This tool will NOT function until the following setup steps have been taken.
Considerations
Standardized document locations or paths - It is important to know that whatever path is used to attach the document to Lucity, will always be used to retrieve that document. If users attach a document from their C drive, that document will not be accessible on other computers. There are many ways to remedy this, and it is up to each agency to decide where and how they want the documents to be stored.
Setup Steps
Two things have to take place on a users workstations before they can use the new document control:
Set a registry setting that allows Silverlight apps from trusted publishers to run with elevated privileges.
Deploy a public code signing security certificate from the trusted publisher (Lucity in this case). This certificate should match the private certificate used to sign our Silverlight xap files (and it does, we include the proper cert with our media)
Lucity provides the necessary files to deploy these registry settings in two different ways.
Manual Registration
Two .reg files are included with the installation media at ..\MSI\Web\DocumentControl\ that a user can run to create this entry on either platform:
LucitySilverlightSettings_x86.reg
LucitySilverlightSettings_x64.reg
Group Policy
Lucity has also provided a Group Policy Administrative template that a customer can import into their group policy environment to more easily deploy this setting in their environment. Both the x86 (32-bit) and x64 registry values can be set using this administrative template. The template consists of two files and are included with the install media and are located at ..\MSI\Web\DocumentControl\:
LucitySilverlight.adml
LucitySilverlight.admx
Once loaded, the template exposes the following two settings within a GPO:
These coincide with the two registry settings described above. By enabling these settings and deploying the resulting GPO to the workstations that will use Lucity Web, the proper registry settings will be set.
Note: Loading administrative templates and configuring group policy should only be done by somebody who is familiar with it, and is beyond the scope of our help document. Help can be found online at:
The public code signing certificate is available on the installation media at: ..\MSI\Web\DocumentControl\LucityCodeSigningCertPublic.cer
Deployment Options
Similar to the registry setting, this file can be deployed either manually, or via Group Policy if automation is desired.
Manual Deployment
Double-click on the file from each workstation.
Click the Install Certificate button at the bottom of the resulting dialog and then follow the instructions in the Certificate Import Wizard.
On the Certificate Store screen select the Trusted Publishers Store.
To confirm installation, the user can open up Internet Explorer and go to Internet Options>Content Tab and click Publishers. Our certificate should appear in the list:
Group Policy Deployment
Instructions for deploying the certificate through Group Policy can be found at:
