Environment

Micro Focus Filr

Situation

With Limit User Visibility enabled, share notifications are sent to internal users, but not external users.
NOTE: Limit User Visibility is configured by going to the Administration Console and selecting the "Limit User Visibility option" in the left pane.

Resolution

Add the following lines to the /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf-ext.properties file and restart the Filr service.
## Allow visibility limited user to invite external users by sharing files
limit.visibility.allow.flexible.sharing=true

The above task can be accomplished by pasting the following lines into a Filr terminal session (such as putty):
echo "  " >> /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf-ext.properties;echo "## Allow visibility limited user to invite external users by sharing files" >> /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf-ext.properties;echo "limit.visibility.allow.flexible.sharing=true" >> /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf-ext.properties;rcfilr restart
