The file browser is disabled for security reasons.

Having got the upload tab to appear, I get the following error when I try to upload a file:

The file browser is disabled for security reasons. Please contact your system administrator and check the CKFinder configuration file.

I've checked the config file but can't see a problem. Any pointers please?

Allowing anonymous user access to CKFinder makes it work

But surely that can't be right?

I had granted "allow CKFinder file uploads" permissions to "authenticated user" and "administrator" and I'm logged on as an "administrator" but I can't access CKFinder.

If I grant "allow CKFinder file uploads" to "anonymous user", I can.

Is this a bug?

Hi DaveR,

from what I understand, you are using one of the commercial integrations, i.e. CKEditor for Drupal that includes CKFinder? If so, the quickest way to solve any issues is to contact the support channel that you are entitled to since you bought a commercial license. Check your purchase confirmation e-mail for details on how to do that and your message will be sent directly to our QA/ developers.

Documentation Manager, CKSource

See CKEditor 5 docs, CKEditor 4 docs, CKEditor 3 docs, CKFinder 3 docs, CKFinder 2 docs for help.
