Dynamic configuration

Comentario runtime configuration

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

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.

Any changes will be saved in the database and apply right away.
