NTP users are strongly urged to take immediate action to ensure that their NTP daemons are not susceptible to being used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

NTP.Support Web Preferences
The following settings are
web preferences of the NTP.Support web. These preferences overwrite the
site-level preferences in
TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by
user preferences (your personal topic, i.e.
TWikiGuest in the NTP.Users web)
Preferences:
- List of topics of the NTP.Support web:
- Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors)
- List this web in the SiteMap:
- If yes, Set SITEMAPLIST =
on
, and add the "what" and "use to..." description for the site map. Make sure to list only links that include the name of the web, e.g. Support.Topic links.
- Set SITEMAPLIST = on
- Set SITEMAPWHAT = NTP user/admin support area - HOWTOs, FAQs, etc.
- Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...collaborate on tips and tricks for using NTP.
- Exclude web from a
web="all"
search: (Set to on
for hidden webs)
- Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web:
- Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Support web: (See TWikiAccessControl)
- Set DENYWEBVIEW =
- Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
- Set DENYWEBCHANGE = TWikiGuest
- Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
- Set DENYWEBRENAME = TWikiGuest
- Set ALLOWWEBRENAME =
- Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (I.e. TWikiAdminGroup)
- Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME
- Local variables:
- The NTPNAV and DISCUSS variables are defined. But you need to edit this topic to see the definitions.
- Set NTPNAV = %NAVBAR{prefix="
" suffix="
" graphics="on"}%
-
- Set DISCUSS =
See WebPreferencesDev for discussion of this topic.
Notes:
- A preference is defined as:
6 spaces * Set NAME = value
Example:
- Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
- When you write variable
%WEBBGCOLOR%
, it gets expanded to #F0FFF0
.
- The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set
WEBCOPYRIGHT
before WIKIWEBMASTER
since %WEBCOPYRIGHT%
uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER%
variable.
- You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the NTP engine (Perl scripts).
