Six bootstrap preference groups are available for configuring the first time you sign in to Workplace.
In addition to the preferences covered in this topic, more preferences can be set for the Workplace application using Workplace Site Preferences. For more information, see the IBM® FileNet® P8 help topic Working with documents > Working with documents in Workplace > Site preferences.

The user who initially logs in and sets the bootstrap preferences is automatically added to the Application Engine Administrators role. For more information, see the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Working with documents > Working with documents in Workplace > Site preferences > Access Roles preferences.
Use the Security info preference to redirect sign-ins through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server and to identify a remote Java server. This encrypts the user IDs and passwords when they travel over the network. See Setting up Application Engine SSL security for instructions on setting up SSL security for one or more Application Engine installations.
User Tokens are used by IBM FileNet P8 applications to launch into each other without the need for an additional login.
Preference settings specify the name of the site preference file, its storage location (object store), and the documentation server URL (if installed). The site preferences file is checked into the object store the first time you log on to Workplace. The site preferences are stored as XML data in this file, Site Preferences for Preferences name.xml. Use Enterprise Manager to access this file, and navigate to Object Stores > Object Store location > Root Folder > Preferences.
The bootstrap preferences are saved in the bootstrap.properties file, and not in the site preferences file. The default location for this file is AE_install_path/FileNet/Config/AE.

The banner image is the graphic that appears at the upper left-hand side of the Workplace application pages. If you have a banner image that you would like to use in place of the default, follow this procedure.
This preference setting only affects Outlook integration.
Select No (default) if you do not want users to be prompted to add an e-mail to an object store each time the e-mail is sent.
Select Yes if you want users prompted to add an e-mail to an object store when the e-mail is sent.
The user who initially signs in and sets the bootstrap preferences is automatically added to the Application Engine Administrators role. For more information, see the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Working with documents > Working with documents in Workplace > Site preferences > Access Roles preferences.
To modify the access roles after the initial bootstrap configuration, users with the Application Engine Administrators role can use the access roles section of the Workplace Site Preferences. Launch Workplace and navigate to Admin > Site Preferences > Access Roles.
When you access the bootstrap preference page via the Site Preferences application, an additional preference, Guest info (to allow guest sign ins), is also available.
After the initial bootstrap configuration, users with the Application Engine Administrators (ae_admin_user) role can change any of these preferences by signing into Workplace and navigating to Admin > Site Preferences > Bootstrap.
In a web farm/clustered environment, all Application Engine installations share site preferences by using the same bootstrap.properties file.
