Table 3–2 Configuration files

Configuration files  

Description  

ACL files: 

  • generated-proxy-server-id.acl

  • genwork-proxy-server-id.acl

  • Location: install_dir/httpacl/

  • These provide access control lists to protect server resources.

  • May reference databases defined in dbswitch.conf

  • File names are specified in server.xml

  • During migration, the syntax of the ACL files from the 3.6 server-root/httpacl directory is converted to the new syntax and the ACL files are copied toserver-root/httpacl directory with the new instance name.

certmap.conf

  • Location: install_dir/userdb/

  • Configures how a client certificate is mapped to an LDAP entry.

  • Not migrated.

dbswitch.conf

  • Location: install_dir/userdb/

  • Provides a list of authentication databases, and is used to check group membership for access control.

  • If localdb was configured in the 3.6 installation, the corresponding entry in thedbswitch.conf file is not migrated.

  • If the LDAP server that was configured for the 3.6 installation is also configured for the Proxy Server 4 installation, the corresponding entry in thedbswitch.conf file is not migrated.

magnus.conf

  • Location:install_dir/server-id/config

  • Copied, during migration, into the new server root directory.

  • Some magnus.conf directives that were supported in Proxy Server 3.6 are deprecated in Proxy Server 4.

  • Certain directives found in the Proxy Server 3.6 magnus.conf file are now located in the Proxy Server 4 server.xml file. During the migration process, these directives are automatically removed from the 3.6server’s magnus.conf file and added to the server.xml file.

mime.types

  • Location: install_dir/server-id/config/

  • Contains mappings between Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types and file extensions.

  • During migration, the mime.types file is not migrated from Proxy Server 3.6 and is set to the default in Proxy Server 4.

obj.conf

  • Location: install_dir/server-id/config/

  • Defines server plug-ins library initialization and server parameters and contains instructions for the server about how to handle requests from clients.

  • During migration, Proxy Server 4 loads built-in load module functions from the new installation directory while custom modules continue to be loaded from the old installation directory.

server.xml

  • Location: install_dir/server-id/config/

  • Contains most of the server configuration.

  • During migration, the server.xml file is created in the new Proxy Server 4 instance and contains information from the following files:

    - magnus.conf

    - obj.conf

    File cache parameters are set to default values in the FILECACHE element of the server.xml file.

*.clfilter

  • obj.conf.clfilter

  • magnus.conf.clfilter

  • server.xml.clfilter

  • Location: install_dir/server-id/config/

  • The obj.conf.clfilter and magnus.conf.clfilter are copied during migration.

  • The server.xml.clfilter is created.

  • access log

  • error log

  • socks log

During migration, new logs are created.
