D
Calendar Administrator Parameters

This appendix lists and describes all tunable parameters available to configure your Oracle Calendar Administrator. All parameters listed are located in the initialization file $ORACLE_HOME/ocad/bin/ocad.ini.

Each parameter's stated default value is used if that parameter is omitted from its configuration file. These defaults are not necessarily the optimal settings for your installation. The initialization files supplied with the software contain settings that provide a good starting point for further configuration. It is strongly recommended that for reference purposes you keep a copy, in either printed or electronic format, of these files before modification.

Web authentication - user attribute name

Section

[ACE_PLUGINS_CLIENT]

Parameter

web_attribute_name

Description

Specifies the Web server environment variable to use for identifying Calendar Administrator users. The type of the user identification present in this variable (e.g., userid, e-mail, ...) is specified by [ACE_PLUGINS_CLIENT]web_attribute_type. For example:

web_attribute_name = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_UID

Accepted values

Any environment variable

Default value

None

Web authentication - user attribute type

Section

[ACE_PLUGINS_CLIENT]

Parameter

Web authentication - WEB:CAL shared key

Section

Display temporary page before starting a long process

Section

[ADMIN]

Parameter

accepttemppages

Description

When set to TRUE, the Calendar Administrator will display a temporary page before starting a long process. This page will contain an "auto-refresh" command that will invoke a second process which will check if the first long process has terminated. If it has, the resulting page is displayed by this second process. If the first long process is still running, the second process will display another temporary page that will later check the status of the first long process, and so on until the first long process terminates.

The temporary pages provide a way to interrupt the long processes via a stop button.

When set to FALSE, a page can take a long time before being displayed if this page contains the result of a time consuming process (Example: an LDAP search, a node start, etc.).

Accepted values

TRUE (Use temporary pages)

FALSE (Do not use temporary pages)

Default value

TRUE

Enable link to SSO

Section

[ADMIN]

Parameter

showssolink

Description

When set to TRUE, the Calendar Administrator will display a SSO button.
