# Basics

## AppConfig:SCEPman:URL

*Linux: AppConfig\_\_SCEPman\_\_URL*

**Value:** String (URL)

**Description:**\
This is the URL of the SCEPman instance that belongs to this Certificate Master. If you have a geo-redundant setup, this should be the URL of the SCEPman App Service nearest to Certificate Master. Certificate Master will submit certificate requests to this SCEPman instance for signing.

## AppConfig:IntuneCertificateSearchStrategy

*Linux: AppConfig\_\_IntuneCertificateSearchStrategy*

**Value:** *Management*, *Reporting*, or *CombineManagementAndReporting*

**Description:**\
Defines which backend API to use when querying Intune for issued certificates.

{% endhint %}

## AppConfig:AzureStorage:TableStorageEndpoint

*Linux: AppConfig\_\_AzureStorage\_\_TableStorageEndpoint*

This defines which Table Storage Endpoint to use to store certificate information.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Changes can harm your service!
{% endhint %}

## AppConfig:AzureStorage:ThresholdForLocalFiltering

*Linux: AppConfig\_\_AzureStorage\_\_ThresholdForLocalFiltering*

{% hint style="info" %}
Applicable to version 3.1 and above
{% endhint %}

**Value:** Integer (20000 as default)

**Description:**

This threshold defines the maximum number of certificates in the storage account for the Certificate Master to cache them during search operations. This allows for a more flexible search experience.

## AppConfig:RemoteDebug

*Linux: AppConfig\_\_RemoteDebug*

**Value:** *Date* or *false*

**Description:**\
You can send Debug log information to a cloud-based monitoring solution of our company for support reasons. This can speed up support cases.

You can activate and deactivate this feature by changing the value to the date until when the remote debug logging should be enabled. After this date, SCEPman will keep sending debug logs until it restarts. Microsoft App Services restart automatically every now and then, usually in a two-week timeframe. We recommend setting the value to the date in one week in the format YYYY-MM-DD. For example, on 2025-05-05, you would set this to 2025-05-12.

Up until version 2.8, you could also use 'true'. This is not possible anymore starting with SCEPman and Certificate Master version 2.9 and newer.

{% hint style="info" %}
Do not forget to restart SCEPman App Service after enabling and saving the setting.
{% endhint %}

## WEBSITE\_RUN\_FROM\_PACKAGE

This setting points to the Application Artifacts that will be loaded by starting the App Service.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scepman.com/scepman-configuration/application-settings-1/basics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
