ProcedureTo edit a virtual server

  1. Expand the Configuration node and the HTTP Service node.

  2. Expand the HTTP Service and Virtual Servers node.

  3. Select the Virtual Server to be edited.

  4. Define the Virtual Server settings as follows:

  5. In the Additional Properties area, click Add Property to add a property for the virtual server.

    Whether you specify properties or not, the server has the default properties docroot and accesslog, set to default values.

    The following table lists the available virtual server properties.

    Property Name

    Description

    docroot

    Absolute path to root document directory for server.

    Default is domain-dir/docroot.

    accesslog

    Absolute path to server access logs.

    Default is domain-dir/logs/access.

    sso-enabled

    If false, single sign-on is disabled for this virtual server, and users must authenticate separately to every application on the virtual server.

    Single sign-on across applications on the Application Server is supported by servlets and JSP pages. This feature allows multiple applications that require the same user sign-on information to share this information, rather than have the user sign on separately for each application.

    Default is true.

    sso-max-inactive-seconds

    Specifies the number of seconds after which a user's single sign-on record becomes eligible for purging if no client activity is received. Since single sign-on applies across several applications on the same virtual server, access to any of the applications keeps the single sign-on record active.

    Default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). Higher values provide longer single sign-on persistence for users at the expense of more memory use on the server.

    sso-reap-interval-seconds

    Specifies the number of seconds between purges of expired single sign-on records.

    Default is 60.

    allowLinking

    If true, resources that are symbolic links will be served for all web applications deployed on this virtual server. Individual web applications may override this setting by using the sun-web-app property allowLinking in the sun-web.xml file:

    <sun-web-app>
       <property name="allowLinking" 
          value="{true|false}"/>
    </sun-web-app>

    Default is true.

  6. Click Save to save the changes.
