There is a Microsoft Office bug (2019105) that will attempt WebDAV windows authentication from non WebDAV links. To work around this bug the server can specify the "Content-Disposition" header as an "attachment" (requesting the browser save the file instead of opening it). Microsoft Internet Explorer will still ask if you want to open the file but will not attempt WebDAV. When making links with ShowItemData.po use the "download" in place of the "filename" parameter. For example:

/ShowItemData.po?handle=123&download=file.ext

If someone tries to brute force passwords their IP will be blacklisted.

  • The IP will be denied access then un-listed after 24 hours
  • This can be immediately cleared by restarting the Noodle service
  • The feature may be disabled or specific whitelisting entries added from the System Settings > Security section
  • The default threshold (20 failures per minute) may be adjusted  via the BlackList.PerMinuteThreshold option in noodle.properties.
  • One NATed IPv4 user can get many users blacklisted due to shared IP. IPv6 or internal monitoring are the only way to prevent that without disabling blacklisting.

How to prevent emails from Noodle from being marked as spam.

If you are hosted by Vialect and are using mail.vialect.net in the SMTP settings half of it is already taken care of:

  • If using SPF add our mail server, then verify with.
    • Lin
      dig sub.domain.tld TXT +short | grep spf
    • Win
      nslookup -type=TXT sub.domain.tld | findstr spf
  • If using Google mail client add a filter (to add a tag) for anything with your Noodle domain name in it.
  • If you are using an SPF please add include:mail.vialect.net

If hosting Noodle on your own server or using your own SMTP server, additionally:

  • Whitelist the Noodle server (Postfix, Spamassassin, Exchange)
  • Use authentication in the Noodle setting
    • [user:pass@]domain.tld[:port][,protocol]

Another option is to use something like noreply@vialect.com in the "Send system emails from" system setting.

The Search Bar gives Noodle users the power to quickly and conveniently locate Noodle content.

In the following example, the user has decided to search using the search text 'Accounting'. Noodle will now present the user a list of all matches based on the search criteria given:

The user may now click one of the links shown to be taken to the information page for that file. Any results that are contained in a folder will direct a user to the information page - others such as emails and forum posts, the user will be taken directly to them.search
