How to set recaptcha site key one time for all recaptcha

  • Updated

Normally, if you add the Recaptcha elemment to a form, you need to configure your the SiteKey and SecretKey for that element. If you have a lot of forms and each form needs to add a Recaptcha element, the configuration takes a lot of time and is difficult to manage.


For CMS 11:

There is a simpler way you can do it is to define the RecaptchaSecretKey and RecaptchaSiteKey appsetting in web.config.
 
<add key="RecaptchaSecretKey " value="YOUR_SECRET_KEY" />
<add key="RecaptchaSiteKey " value="YOUR_SITE_KEY" />
 
For CMS 12:
You can enter the separate keys in  appsettings.json in the EpiServer section:
"FormSamples": {
   "FormSamplesApiKeyOptions": {
     "AddressKey": {
        "ClientApiKey": "YOUR_KEY",
        "ServerApiKey": "YOUR_KEY"
     },
     "RecaptchaKey": {
        "SiteKey": "YOUR_KEY",
        "SecretKey": "YOUR_KEY"
     }
  }
}

Or set it in startup.cs

services.Configure<FormSamplesApiKeyOptions>(o => {
            o.RecaptchaKey = new RecaptchaKey() {
                SecretKey = "*****",
                SiteKey = "*****"
            };
        });
