Overview of Security-Related Configuration Settings

Certain configuration settings have a direct effect on security. Some affect the administration side of B2C Service and others affect the customer portal or an external website.

By making a conscious decision to determine the appropriate level of security that fits your business, you can define configuration settings to reflect a suitable security level. Configuration settings that specifically impact security are detailed in the sections that follow. Paths to each setting in the Configuration Settings editor, descriptions, and default values are also listed. Configuration settings in this section are grouped into these categories:

  • Site protection
  • Session data
  • Password protection
  • File-attachment security
  • Chat security

For a complete list of security-related configuration settings by security level and significance, see Security Level.

Note: Depending on your site’s configuration, some settings may be hidden. If you cannot find a certain configuration setting, contact your Oracle account manager.
