Studio Settings

The Studio Settings tab is accessed from Configuration | Studio.

Studio is Platform’s embedded integration with Studio's debugger. The Studio component is part of the Platform node installation, ensuring that an instance of the debugger resides on every node.

Studio settings provide a way for allowing or denying accessibility to a selected server or to a selection of servers (using a Net Mask which implements Wildcards on IP addresses).

Studio Server Settings

The Studio Settings screen displays the Studio settings for the selected node (The server is selected in the server tree).

There are four settings categories:

Allowed Hosts - These are the hosts that are allowed to initiate debugging and profiling sessions.
Denied Hosts - These are the hosts that are not allowed to initiate debugging and profiling sessions, even if they are on the Allowed Hosts list.
Allowed Hosts for Tunneling - These are the hosts that are allowed to use this node for tunneling. The Zend Studio Tunnel is used for debugging PHP code across a Firewall to use the integration with the Zend Studio. Note: Tunneling is not supported in Windows.
Other Settings - These are additional settings supported by Platform. Currently, "Expose Remotely" is the only setting in this category. This setting determines whether the Debug Server will expose itself to remote clients. This is required if you want the Zend Studio Browser" toolbar to automatically detect pages that can be debugged.

The Settings screen is for Adding, Editing or Removing a host from the Allowed Hosts, Denied Hosts, or Allowed Hosts for Tunneling categories. You can also assign a value (Always, Selective, or Never) to the Expose Remotely setting for the selected node.

"Expose Remotely" settings:

Always - Will expose all hosts
Selective - Only exposes the hosts in the allowed host list
Never - Will not expose any host

To access the Studio Server tab:

Go to Configuration |Studio.
From the Server Tree, select the server you wish to configure (or whose settings you wish to view).
Click "Select "to open the Studio Server tab for the selected node.

To change or add a host to allow or deny tunneling:

Go to Configuration | Studio.
Click "Add" - for example, in the Allowed Hosts category to open the Add New Allowed Host dialog box opens.
Enter the Settings for the new Allowed Host.
Click "Apply" - A new Host will appear in the Allowed Hosts category on the Server Settings screen.
To edit or remove a Host - for example, in the Allowed Hosts category, click "Edit" or" Remove" (To the right of the Server Host you wish to edit).

You will be prompted to confirm your new settings click "Save" to save the settings to the database.

To set the Expose Remotely setting for the selected node, select a value, Always, Selective, or Never, from the drop-down list provided and click save.

Net Masks:

The Net Mask option is used to define a string of IP addresses using wildcards * to specify the range of IPs that are either allowed or denied hosts. This option, allows to specify a range of IPs from 0-255 according to the selected amount of wildcards for example if you choose to use the Net Mask option to deny the following IPs: 24 (10.1.3. *) all IP addresses beginning with 10.1.3 will be denied access to the Studio Server (i.e. Integration with Studio will not be permitted for these IP addresses).
