XBRL Whitelist Configuration

The web.config file contains settings to configure the XBRL whitelist. For how to access the file, see Server Configuration.

The <CDMXBRL> section of the web.config file contains elements that specify which Internet domains can be accessed when you add taxonomies from a URL. The <CDMXBRL> section is prepopulated with standard Internet domains that are required. You can add Internet domains to this list.

By default this whitelist contains these Internet domains:

  • fasb.org and its subdomains
  • xbrl.us
  • xbrl.org
  • sec.gov
  • ifrs.org
  • eurofiling.info
  • eiopa.europa.eu

To add a domain, in the <WhiteList> section, add an element of the form <Entry Name="domain_name" Domain="domain_url"/>, where domain_name is a unique descriptor for the domain and domain_url is the web address of the domain.

If you want to include subdomains, add a prefix of *. to the domain URL. For example, a domain URL of xbrl.org allows URLs such as xbrl.org/children.xml, while a domain URL of *.xbrl.org allows URLs such as children.xbrl.org. Note that you must have entries with both xbrl.org and *.xbrl.org to allow both a domain and its subdomains.
