max upload size with superuser override

[eswanzey]

Vanjaro Platform defaults to 28MB max file uploads. In the security settings, the max value accepted is 28MB.

I increased the value of maxRequestLength and requestLengthDiskThreshold in the web.config from 28672 to 57344, to no apparent effect. In other words, I'm not seeing a way to increase the accepted size.

I like that the default is 28MB and that it can't be overridden by a site admin. In this case, I'm logged in as superuser but couldn't find a host-level setting if there is one.

Even so, I would be more comfortable as a superuser/host if the max 28MB value was strictly enforced just like I experienced, BUT, provide the superuser login an "override" option that they can user when uploading, say, from the asset manager or the extension installer. In this way, the 1% of the time that you need to get a large file up there via the browser can be handled without opening the barn door wide enough to let in an elephant.

Add the following parameters to the web.config file. For example, we are increasing the max upload size to 90MB. The value is in bytes:

 <system.webServer>
  <security>
      <requestFiltering>
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="93400320"/>
      </requestFiltering>
    </security>
  </system.webServer>

Also in the web. config, you will need to confirm that the maxRequestLength has been increased. The value is in kilobytes

<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7.2" shutdownTimeout="120" executionTimeout="1200" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="91680" requestLengthDiskThreshold="91680" maxUrlLength="2048" requestPathInvalidCharacters="&lt;,&gt;,*,%,:,\,?" enableVersionHeader="false" requestValidationMode="2.0" fcnMode="Single" />
