| Active Timeout |
When the Enterprise Gateway receives a large HTTP request, it reads the
request off the network when it becomes available. If the time
between reading successive blocks of data exceeds the
Active Timeout, the Enterprise Gateway closes the
connection. This guards against a host closing the connection
in the middle of sending data. For example, if the host's network
connection is pulled out of the machine while in the middle of
sending data to the Enterprise Gateway. When the Enterprise Gateway has read all
the available data off the network, it waits the Active
Timeout period of time before closing the connection.
Note:
You can configure this setting on a per-host
basis using the Remote Hosts interface.
|
| Administrator Role |
Configures a special system administrator role that provides protection
for the specified role (a user with this role cannot remove themselves
from this role). This ensures that there is always at least one user in
the system with this role. By default, the configured Administrator
Role allows access to all management services. Defaults to the
Administrators role. For more details, see the
Configuring Role-Based Access Control
topic.
|
| Date Format |
Configures the format of the date for the purposes of tracing,
logging, and reporting. For more information, see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
|
| Cache Refresh Interval |
Configures the number of seconds that the server caches data loaded
from an external source (external database, LDAP directory, and so on)
before refreshing the data from that source. The default value is
5 seconds. If you do not wish any caching to occur,
set this value to 0.
|
| Idle Timeout |
The Enterprise Gateway supports HTTP 1.1 persistent connections. The
Idle Timeout is the time that the Enterprise Gateway
waits after sending a message over a persistent connection before
it closes the connection. Typically, the host tells the Enterprise Gateway
that it wants to use a persistent connection. The Enterprise Gateway
acknowledges this instruction and decides to keep the connection open
for a certain amount of time after sending the message to the
host. If the connection is not reused within the Idle
Timeout period, the Enterprise Gateway closes the connection.
Note:
You can configure this setting on a per-host
basis using the Remote Hosts interface.
|
| LDAP Service Provider |
Specifies the service provider used for looking up an LDAP server
(for example, com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory).
The provider is typically used to connect to LDAP directories for
certificate and attribute retrieval.
|
| Maximum Memory per Request |
The maximum amount of memory allocated to each request.
Note:
You can configure this setting on a per-host
basis using the Remote Hosts
interface.
|
| Policy Director Process Connect Timeout |
When the Policy Director connects to a process to deploy or retrieve
configuration, the connection fails if no activity happens on that
connection for the duration specified by this setting (in seconds).
The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). Increase this setting if very
large configurations are being deployed to the process, or configurations
that may stall the process on initialization (for example, due to
database timeout).
|
| Policy Director Process Ping Connect Timeout |
If an attempt to connect to a known process to ping it stalls for
greater than this configured time in seconds, the attempt is aborted.
This time should always be configured to be less than the process ping
interval. Defaults to 30 seconds.
|
| Policy Director Process Ping Interval |
Specifies the polling interval in seconds for contacting each known
process to check it is alive and retrieve its configuration status.
Defaults to 60 seconds.
|
| Policy Director User Session Timeout |
This setting logs out a Policy Director user if there is no activity in
the specified time period in seconds. Defaults to 1800 seconds (30
minutes).
|
| Send desired servername to server during TLS
negotiation |
Specifies whether to add a field to outbound TLS/SSL calls that shows
the name that the client used to connect. For example, this can be useful
if the server handles several different domains, and needs to present
different certificates depending on the name that the client used to
connect.
|
| Realm |
Specifies the realm for authentication purposes.
|
| Schema Pool Size |
Sets the size of the Schema Parser pool.
|
| Server Brand |
Specifies the branding to be used in the Enterprise Gateway.
|
| LDAP Time Out |
The timeout in milliseconds for the LDAP connection.
If a connection has not been created in this time frame,
the operation times out. Similarly, if a lookup operation
has not succeeded in this time frame, the operation fails. If
this setting is not configured, or set to zero, the TCP timeout
for the platform is used, which defaults to 3
minutes.
|
| Token Drift Time |
The number of seconds drift allowed for WS-Security tokens.
This is important in cases where the Enterprise Gateway is checking
the date on incoming WS-Security tokens. It is likely that
the machine on which the token was created is out-of-sync with
the machine on which the Enterprise Gateway is running. The drift
time allows for differences in the respective machine clock
times.
|
| Server's SSL cert's name must match name of requested
server |
Ensures that the certificate presented by the server matches the name
of the host address being connected to. This prevents host spoofing and
man-in-the-middle attacks. This setting is enabled by default.
|
| Use Validation on SAX Parsers |
Disabled by default for performance reasons. However, to perform SAX
validation when parsing XML messages, you can select this setting.
|
| Super User Role |
Configures a special system administrator role that has special
privileges in the system, for example:
-
Add, delete, and update other users.
-
Reset user passwords.
-
Add another superuser.
-
Perform actions only allowed by a Configuration Profile
owner (for example, transfer ownership to another user).
-
Perform actions only allowed by a Process owner (for example, deploy
a new Configuration Profile to a Process owned by another user).
Defaults to the Administrators role. This means that the default
admin user has the PD superuser privilege, and it cannot delete
itself. However, you can also separate the PD superuser privilege from the
Administrators role. For more details, see the
Configuring Role-Based Access Control
topic.
|
| Trace Level |
Enables you to set the trace level for the Enterprise Gateway at
runtime. Select the appropriate option from the Trace
Level drop-down list.
