# Configuring Framework Settings

Because the Framework Settings component does not display as an independent portlet, it is not configured in the same way as most Endeca standard components. Instead, you modify these settings in the Control Panel.

Note: Take care when modifying these settings, as incorrect values can cause problems with your Discovery Framework application.
The Framework Settings component contains the following settings:

- df.attributeCacheEnabled: Controls whether to cache or retrieve attribute metadata controlled by the MDEX Engine.
- df.cordaImageAuthEnabled: Controls whether Corda chart image URLs are secured.
  Note: The Corda image authorization feature is in Beta for this release and is not supported.
- df.cordaServerExternalUrl and df.cordaServerInternalUrl: The externally and internally accessible URLs of the Corda Server, which is used by the Chart component.
- df.cordaServerRedirectorUrl: The URL of the Corda Redirector, which can be used by the Chart component.
- df.dataSourceDirectory: The directory on disk from which to load data source definition files.
- df.deepLinkPortletName: The name of the deep link component.
- df.defaultDataSource: The name of the data source to use as the default.
- df.defaultExporter: The default exporter class.
- df.exportPortletName: The default name of the export portlet.
- df.healthCheckTimeout: The time (in milliseconds) for query timeout when checking data source availability on initialization.
- df.maxExportAnalyticsRecords:The maximum allowable number of Analytics records that can be exported.
- df.mdexCacheManager: This setting is not supported in production.
- df.maxExportBaseErrors: The maximum allowable number of non-Analytics records that can be exported.
- df.mdexStateManager: The fully-qualified class name to use for the MDEX State Manager.
- df.mdexSecurityManager: The fully-qualified class name to use for the MDEX Security Manager.

Note: If you do not see the Discovery Framework Settings in the Control Panel, it probably means you did not install the endeca-framework-settings-portlet-<version>.war file. Please review your installation settings.
