Credential Finder

Optional

Generally, especially for the initial use of the Credential Registry download, the Credential Finder project should be excluded. Any partner downloading the data will likely want to ultimately store the data in their own data stores, and present the data (if applicable) using a separate interface. However, if you are interested in how the Credential Finder presents the data, then by all means, carry on!

Configuration

Web.config

There will be many of the same keys used by the import.

Authentication	The main site uses SSO with the accounts site. The github project will have settings to use a local Accounts and AspNetUser table, and local register and login.
doingEmailConfirmation	Set to false unless an email service has been enabled
usingSSL	False - although it is easy to use https with a local project
forgotPasswordExpiryDays	Defaults to 1
Credential Registry Related
CredentialEngineAPIKey	Use the API key for your organization that was set in the accounts site. See the dashboard for your organization.

Elastic search related
elasticSearchUrl	Url to the instance of elastic being used
credentialRebuildPageSize	Was used in prototyping, typically set to a large size like 9999. The import typically imports a small amount daily, or hourly. More pertinent for a full rebuild.
credentialCollection organizationCollection assessmentCollection learningOppCollection	Name of elastic collection that will be updated by the import. Can use different collections for different sources. For example one for a test environment and another for production copies.
Options to use or not use Elastic for the searches usingElasticCredentialSearch usingElasticOrganizationSearch usingElasticAssessmentSearch usingElasticLearningOppSearch	These are always true, unless using sql server for searching. Note that the sql search has not been maintained in this project. Feb. 28, 2019 - some quick tests has confirmed that the searches do function. These keys will all be set to false

Connection strings
DefaultConnection AccountEntities	The production site uses SSO to the account site. The github project has been set up for local registration and login.
MainConnection workIT_RO workITEntities workITViews	These are set up for sql server. User should only have to provide the database name (if not using the default), server name/data source, and password.
