iBoard Information
The iBoard Information page provides the basic management settings required to operate the site. Administrators can configure system language, site information, login information, two-factor authentication, database backups, and full website file downloads.
This page contains important system-wide settings. Review changes carefully before saving because these settings may affect login, security, backup, and site behavior.
Overview
The iBoard Information page is divided into three main sections: Basic Information, Security, and Backup Management.
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Basic Information | Configure system language, installation status, editor options, site information, admin login, and iKey. |
| Security | Configure two-factor authentication settings for administrator and user accounts. |
| Backup Management | Create, download, and delete database backup files. Also download the full wwwroot folder as a ZIP file. |
Basic Information
The Basic Information tab contains the main site configuration values used by iBoard.

iBoard Login Information
The iBoard Login Information section contains administrator login information and the iKey.
| Field | Description | Important Note |
|---|---|---|
| ID | The administrator login ID. | Use a secure and recognizable administrator ID. |
| Password | The administrator password. | Use a strong password and update it when needed. |
| iKey | A security key used to identify and protect the site. | Update this key immediately after first installation. |
How do I log in?
The How do I log in? button provides guidance about administrator login behavior. Use it when you need to confirm which ID and password are used for accessing the admin page.
iKey Update
The iKey - Update button generates a new iKey. The iKey is used as an important security key for encrypted URLs, protected parameters, file downloads, and delete actions.
For security reasons, generate a new iKey immediately after the first installation. Do not share the iKey publicly.
Security
The Security tab controls Two-Factor Authentication settings. Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra verification step after password validation.
2FA Security Status
When 2FA is enabled, users must verify a temporary security code after entering their password.
| Field | Description | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Verification Method | Selects how the verification code is delivered. | Email Code is recommended for first implementation. |
| Issuer Name | The name displayed in the verification message or authentication app. | Use your site or company name, such as iBoard. |
| Code Expiration Minutes | Controls how long the verification code remains valid. | 5 minutes is recommended. |
| Remember Device Days | Controls how many days the device can be remembered after successful verification. | Use 30 days, or 0 to require verification every time. |
| Maximum Failed Attempts | Controls how many failed verification attempts are allowed. | Use a small number such as 5. |
| Require for Admin | Requires 2FA for administrator accounts. | Recommended for administrator accounts. |
| Require for User | Requires 2FA for general user accounts. | Enable only if your site requires stronger user login protection. |
Email Subject
This field defines the subject line of the verification email.
Your iBoard verification codeEmail Template
This field defines the email message sent to users during verification. The template can use available tokens.
| Token | Description |
|---|---|
##{CODE}## |
The temporary verification code. |
##{EXPIRE_MINUTES}## |
The number of minutes before the code expires. |
##{ISSUER_NAME}## |
The issuer name configured in the 2FA settings. |
Example Email Template
Your verification code is ##{CODE}##.
This code will expire in ##{EXPIRE_MINUTES}## minutes.Admin Memo
The Admin Memo field can be used to store internal notes about the 2FA configuration, implementation history, or security policy.
Implementation Guide
- After password validation succeeds, check whether 2FA is enabled.
- Generate a temporary verification code and send it by the selected provider.
- Do not complete sign-in until the verification code is confirmed.
- Store verification codes as hashed values, not plain text.
Two-Factor Authentication is strongly recommended for administrator accounts. It helps reduce risk even if a password is exposed.
Backup Management
The Backup Management tab allows administrators to create, download, and delete database backup files. It also provides a full download option for the website files under the wwwroot folder.
Backup List
The Backup List displays existing database backup files.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| No. | The backup list number. |
| Name | The backup file name. |
| Database | The database name connected to the backup file. |
| Date | The backup creation date and time. |
| Download | Downloads the selected backup file. |
| Delete | Deletes the selected backup file from the server. |
Create Backup
The Backup section creates a new backup for a local or remote database.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Database Name | The name of the database to back up. |
| Local Database | Select this option when the database is located on the same server or configured as a local database. |
| Remote Database | Select this option when the database is located on a remote server. |
| Back Up | Creates a new database backup file. |
wwwroot Full Download
The Download wwwroot ZIP button compresses the entire wwwroot folder into a ZIP file and downloads it.
This includes themes, skins, uploads, images, scripts, CSS files, and other static files under wwwroot.
A database backup does not include uploaded files, images, themes, skins, or static website assets. Use wwwroot full download when you need to back up the website file system.
Recommended Workflow
- Open Admin > Site > Management.
- Review or update Basic Information settings.
- Confirm site domain, organization name, email, phone, and business address.
- Update iKey after initial installation or when security rotation is required.
- Open the Security tab and configure 2FA for administrator accounts.
- Open Backup Management before major updates.
- Create a database backup.
- Download the database backup file.
- Use Download wwwroot ZIP if website files also need to be backed up.
Important Notes
- Changing login settings may affect administrator access.
- Always keep a safe copy of the admin ID and password.
- Update the iKey immediately after the first installation.
- Enable 2FA for administrator accounts whenever possible.
- Create database backups before major updates, migrations, or server changes.
- Download wwwroot files separately when backing up the full website.
- Do not store backup files publicly longer than necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot log in after changing settings | The login ID, password, login plugin, or 2FA setting may have been changed incorrectly. | Verify administrator login settings and check 2FA configuration. |
| 2FA email is not received | Email provider, SMTP, or communication provider settings may not be configured. | Check provider settings, SMTP settings, email template, and send logs. |
| 2FA code expires too quickly | The code expiration value may be too short. | Set Code Expiration Minutes to a reasonable value such as 5 minutes. |
| Backup creation fails | Database name, database permissions, or backup path permissions may be incorrect. | Check database name, server permissions, and write permissions for the backup folder. |
| wwwroot ZIP download fails | The folder may be too large, or the server may not have enough permission or resources. | Check server storage, memory, timeout settings, and file permissions. |
Best Practices
- Use a secure administrator password.
- Enable 2FA for administrator accounts.
- Keep site information accurate and up to date.
- Rotate the iKey when required by your security policy.
- Create a database backup before every major update.
- Keep database backups and wwwroot backups together when preparing a full restore package.
- Delete old backup files that are no longer needed, but only after confirming that newer backups are valid.
Site settings, iKey, two-factor authentication, and backup management are core administrative functions. Handle these settings carefully and test changes before applying them to a production environment.
