Web server configuration

Overview

The Server Configuration panel in CloudBeaver enables administrators to manage server settings important for the server. The panel is structured into distinct sections, each dedicated to specific aspects of server management.

To access the Server Configuration, navigate as administrator to Settings -> Administration -> Server Configuration.

The sections within the Server Configuration include:

• Server Information: Specifies essential server details.
• Configuration: Manages general configurations.
• Authentication Settings: Controls the methods for authentication.
• Security: Manages the storage of credentials.
• Disabled drivers: Allows to disable specific drivers on the server.

Note

The availability and specific options of the settings in the Server Configuration panel may vary between different versions of CloudBeaver.

For more information, see Authentication methods.

Security

Setting name	Description
Save credentials	Allows saving credentials for pre-configured databases.
Save users credentials	Allows saving credentials for non-admin users.
Bind session to IP	Binds user sessions to client IP addresses. For details, see section below.

Bind session to IP

Binding sessions to IPs links each user session to their client’s IP address. This prevents a stolen session cookie from being reused from another network and makes account sharing harder.

This setting links a user session to the client’s IP address. If binding is enabled, users may be logged out when their IP address changes (for example, behind NAT or when switching networks).

Info

You can also configure this option with the CLOUDBEAVER_BIND_SESSION_TO_IP environment variable. For more information, see Environment variables configuration.

Value	Environment variable	Description
Enable	true	Always bind sessions to IP addresses
Disable	false	Never bind
Enable for databases.team	dbeaverDomains	Used only for *.databases.team deployments (generated by the Domain Manager)

Note

In Community Edition, this option can be configured only with the CLOUDBEAVER_BIND_SESSION_TO_IP environment variable (default is false). It’s not available in the web client.

Disabled drivers

The Disabled Drivers section allows administrators to control the availability of database drivers on the server.

• Search for the driver: Enter the name of a specific driver in the search field to quickly locate it.
• Disabling a driver: Select the desired driver from the search results to disable it.
• Enabling a driver: To re-enable a disabled driver, click on the X next to its name in the list.
