Tuning the Web Container

After you deploy the Distributed Authentication UI server on a web container, consider tuning the web container by running the Access Manager tuning scripts. The following tuning scripts set the JVM and other tuning options for the respective web containers:

Table 11–3 Access Manager Web Container Tuning Scripts

Web Container	Tuning Script Called by amtune Script
Web Server 7.0	amtune-ws7
Web Server 6.1 2005Q4 SP5	amtune-ws61
Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2  Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1	amtune-as8
Application Server 7	amtune-as7

To Tune a Web Container for a Distributed Authentication UI Server

Before You Begin

Install and configure the Distributed Authentication UI server on the web container.

1. Edit the parameters in the amtune-env configuration file to specify the web container and tuning options.

   To run the script in review mode, set the AMTUNE_MODE variable to REVIEW in the amtune-env file.

2. Run the amtune script in review mode, which calls the appropriate web container script based on values in the amtune-env file.

   In review mode, the amtune script suggests tuning recommendations but does not make any changes to the deployment.

3. Review the tuning recommendations in the debug log file. If needed, make changes to the amtune-env file based on this run.

4. To make tuning changes, set the AMTUNE_MODE variable to CHANGE in the amtune-env file.

5. Run the amtune script in change mode to make the tuning changes to the deployment.
