Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.14 Administration Guide

Configuration Files

The configuration and behavior of Proxy Server is determined by a set of configuration files. Settings configured in the administration interface are reflected in the configuration files. The files can also be edited manually.

The configuration files reside in the directory instance-dir/config, where instance-dir is the server instance. The config directory contains various configuration files that control different components. The number and names of the configuration files depend on which components have been enabled or loaded. This directory always contains four configuration files that are essential to server operation. The following table lists the four essential configuration files and their contents.
