Here you find the configuration files to enable-disable course building blocks,
Usually you have not to care about this file, except if you intend to use shibboleth. It is to configure the AttributeAcceptancePolicy used for Shibboleth authentication.
Regular expressions of user names which are not allowed, e.g. .*admin.*. Change it to match your requirements.
Configuration for log4j, see also the documentation there. This is used for debugging problems.
The course in OLAT consists of building blocks. You define the building blocks for your instance in this file, e.g. which id is matched to which implementing class. The list of building blocks available in your instance is defined in the section called “olat_extensions.in”.
The olat.config.in file is well documented, you should read there what and how to set the values in these OLAT modules. Make sure that you run ant config-all copy-resources and also restart tomcat to activate the changes. Be aware that the order of the modules is relevant.
This configuration file will be clean-up and maybe disappear within the next releases. The modules/components/service configuration will then be found in single configuraiton files. See Section 4.3, “webapp/WEB-INF/src/serviceconfig”
The following list summarizes the modules which can be found there, with some keywords:

Instant messaging server settings, enable chatrooms for learning groups and/or groups, in ajax mode the idle polling interval defines the interval for looking if a new message has arrived - the chat poll interval defines the refresh rate of the chat GUI during chatting.
Polling increases the load to the server and you should play with the values to find your optimal settings. The Server at university zurich with up to 700 concurrent users is fine with idle:15000ms and chat:2500ms
module:org.olat.notifications.NotificationsModule

There are several extension points defined where you can hook in. You reference your extensions here, or you can disable some of the OLAT functionality which is realized as extensions. The course building blocks are realized as extension for example.
extmanager
The generic extension may appear anywhere, typically as a menu entry or additional tab.
olatsites
The olatsites lists the possible tabs like Home or Learn resources.
bbfactory
List of building blocks available. Added here, and your building block appears in the course editor for insertion and configuration. If you remove building blocks, make sure you do not deploy example courses containing those building blocks. You have to remove them from your instance before changing the configuration, and also remove it from webapp/examples .
webdavfactory
Each defined webdav provider defines a mount point under olat webdav access, and provides access to a resource.
olat_portals.xml
This import the olat_portals.xml which is also seen as an extension possibility, see the section called “olat_portals.in” for more details.
The place where the users home and guest home is defined, but its generic in a way that you can define a new portal.
portletfactory
A portal consists of one or more portlets. You define here all available portlets.
portalfactory
In OLAT there is the homeportal and the guestportal defined. You can change here the default values or add your own portal
The configured classes get executed in the given order. They are used for automatically update from version to version. Most probably you will never change something here.
Configuration file used for servlet container, for more information see wikipedia:web.xml. It contains the configuration for the servlets and MIME mappings
org.olat.core.servlets.OLATServlet
org.olat.core.servlets.SecureWebdavServlet
org.olat.commons.servlets.RSSServlet
This configures the jbossTreecache which is used in the cluster environment toghether with hibernate as a distributed cache for the hibernate queries. For more informations see: Jboss website.
