Environment

Novell Filr 1.1

Situation

All outgoing emails from Filr should use the host name setting specified under the appliance configuration's Reverse Proxy settings. However, if a user uses the 'Email Link using Filr' to share a file, the URL sent in the email notification does not contain the same host name specified under Reverse Proxy settings.

Resolution

An updated fix for this issue is available in the Filr 1.1 Hot Patch 2, available via the Novell Patch Finder. With the fix in place, emails sent using 'Email Link using Filr' will have the correct host name in the URL.

Additionally, in a clustered Filr deployment with multiple Filr application servers, the external user registration confirmation email will now contain the correct hostname in the URL.
