Just a quick blog today...

When you start up LR 7 CE/LR DXP, you'll often see it stop while trying to validate LPKGs. This is a security measure which is used to verify that the LPKG files have not been tampered with.

In development, though, this delay is just painful.

Fortunately it can be disabled. Add the following line to portal-ext.properties:

module.framework.properties.lpkg.index.validator.enabled=false

That's all there is to it.

Note that I probably would not do this in my production environments. It is, after all, in there to protect your environment. Disabling it in production removes that small bit of protection and doesn't seem wise.
