This section describes characteristics that are unique about to the Apache HTTP Server 2.2 agent, including Development Through the OpenSSO Project
The Apache HTTP Server 2.2 agent is unique in that it does not support the following features:
The Apache HTTP Server 2.2 agent was developed as part of the OpenSSO project and therefore differs from other web agents developed outside of this project. For more information about the differences, see Chapter 2, Vital Installation Information for a Web Agent in Policy Agent 2.2.
For information about the OpenSSO project, see http://opensso.dev.java.net/
The Apache HTTP Server 2.2 agent does not support notifications. Therefore, updating the cache through a notification mechanism is not an available feature. However, since the notification mechanism is available for other agents in the Policy Agent 2.2 software set, a property exists in the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file. The property that controls the notification mechanism, com.sun.am.notification.enable, is set to false for this agent. Do not set this property to true for this agent, because it might result in unexpected behavior.
The two following properties can also affect notifications for most agents:
com.sun.am.notification.url override_notification.url
However, you can ignore these properties for this agent.
While most web agents have log rotation turned on by default, this agent has log rotation turned off by default. Log rotation is controlled by a property in the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file. The following example illustrates the default setting of this property for this agent:
com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.local.log.rotate = false
Do not change the value of this property to true for this agent. A setting of true results in log rotation that is inconsistent and unpredictable.
