Restricting Upload File Types for Connect On-Premise Deployments

Adobe Connect supports the following file uploads; on-premise deployments are able to restrict any of these as needed:

“…the following formats: *.ppt, *.pptx, *.flv, *.swf, *.pdf, *.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.mp3, *.html, *.mp4, *.f4v or *.zip. Please refer to the documentation for valid contents for zip files.”

You can modify the breezeUI.js  javascript to restrict file types. Be sure to backup before editing.

breeze/appserv/common/scripts/breezeUI.js

var acceptedTypes = {};
acceptedTypes[‘jpeg’] = ‘jpeg’;
acceptedTypes[‘jpe’] = ‘jpe’;
…..
acceptedTypes[‘ppt’] = ‘ppt’;
acceptedTypes[‘pptx’] = ‘pptx’;

Remove the file type that you want to restrict and then make sure the GUI in Connect Central reflects the change in en.xml:

Backup and edit: 9.x\appserv\apps\lang\en.xml file

<m id=”new-content-help”>
The file should be one of the following formats:
*.ppt, *.pptx, *.flv, *.swf, *.pdf, *.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.mp3, *.html, *.mp4, *.f4v or *.zip.
Please refer to the documentation for valid contents for zip files.
