19. _Only allow Friendica contacts_: Exactly what it says on the tin - users can only add other Friendica contacts. No Diaspora, Ostatus, RSS, or email. Just Friendica. This is wonderful for resources, you'll save a lot. Community servers should really consider this option. However, if you're hosting a _public_ server, the chances are you doing so to help the project - and that your members will still want their Diaspora and Facebook contacts. Not using this option is a sacrifice, but probably one worth paying in the long term.
20. _Global Directory Update URL_: If members of your site opt to be listed in a global directory, this is the one that will be used. Actually, there is only one global directory at the moment. Either leave the field as it is, or leave it blank to disable profiles being submitted to the global directory.
20. _Global Directory Update URL_: If members of your site opt to be listed in a global directory, this is the one that will be used. Actually, there is only one global directory at the moment. Either leave the field as it is, or leave it blank to disable profiles being submitted to the global directory. Searches that begin with @ will search the global directory for matches. If you do not specify a global directory here, this functionality will be unavailable on your site.
21. _Verify SSL_: This turns on strict SSL checking, which will make your site check it's communicating with sites using certificate-authority SSL certificates. This means sites using self-signed SSL certificates will not be able to connect to your site. This might arguably be a good thing. Self-signed SSL certificates will generate browser warnings that users just don't understand and sometimes even make them leave immediately. On the other hand, you'll miss out on some perfectly good contacts who refuse to bow to the SSL cartel - and chances are that the problem is alleviated anyway if these contacts use the respective self-signed SSL policy in Friendica. Unless you really know what you're doing, or you have particular security concerns, leave this unselected.
