System properties

The system properties page is used to configure basic settings for the framework.

The following table shows the properties on the page.
Table 1. System properties
Property name Value Example Description
External Web URL None https://www.example.com:58080 A partial URL that defines the location where browser requests are directed to reach the Control Center. This property is required only when the network includes intermediate nodes that change the request header to substitute a server name or port that is not reachable from your system. The syntax is protocol://host:port. Control Center applications use this property to generate URLs on your browser page.
Note: Restart the FrameworkUI_EAR application for changes to this property to take effect.
HTTP Request Header for Remote Address     Control Center writes the IP address that is associated with certain user requests to an audit or event log. By default, the address is the source of the HTTP request, which can represent the originating client computer or the last proxy or load balancer to forward the request. Use this property to identify which HTTP request header, if any, is used by Control Center to obtain the originating IP address of a client.
HTTP Response Headers   Pragma: no-cache | Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache | Expires: -1 | X-FRAME-OPTIONS: SAMEORIGIN Specify any HTTP headers that are to be added to each HTTP response from the Control Center servlets and the web services. Use this property to control caching along the network response path or for any other purpose. The HTTP headers that are specified in this property are not applied to static content such as stylesheets or icon images.

Each response header is of the form name: value. Specify multiple headers by separating them with the pipe symbol (|).

To support multiple tabs, Control Center uses framing. Do not use the DENY option when the X-FRAME-OPTIONS response header is specified.

Note: Restart the FrameworkUI_EAR application for changes to this property to take effect.
Login User Exit None com.example.Loginuserexit Fully qualified user exit class name for processing login requests. This user exit class is called when the user logs in for role-based authorization.
Logout URL None http://www.example.com The URL that you are directed to when you sign off from the browser. If this property is not specified when single sign-on is being used, you are directed to the welcome page. If this property is not specified in a non-single-sign-on environment, you are directed to the login page.
Note: When this property is used in a non-single-sign-on environment, the URL specified in this property must revoke authentication for the user. If it does not revoke the authentication, the user remains authenticated and unexpected behavior might occur.
Single Sign On Enabled No Yes, No Indicate whether single sign-on authentication is being used. If single sign-on authentication is being used, this property must be set to yes. If no value is specified for this property, it defaults to no.
Login Single Sign on User Exit None com.example.LoginSSOuserexit Fully qualified user exit class name for single sign-on requests. This user exit class is called when the user logs in for single sign-on. The user ID is set from the request header.
Note: This property is not used when Trust Association Interceptor++ (TAI++) is used for single sign-on.
Login Single Sign On User Exit Properties None

properties_loc=value,
properties_file=value

Optional configuration properties for the single sign-on user exit class. Use delimited name and value pairs to specify any extra custom properties that are needed as optional values by this user exit.
Note: This property is not used when Trust Association Interceptor++ (TAI++) is used for single sign-on.
Navigation Preference Default Top (Multiple), Top (Single), or Side Indicates where the navigation controls are displayed on the user interface pages. The controls are either at the top or on the side of the page.
Operational time zone None UTC (GMT +0:00) The time zone to use for the timestamps in the reports.
Instance Name None Development, Test, Production Name of the environment instance. The property can be referenced by any Payment Feature Services component. The value of this property is displayed in the banner portion of each Control Center page.
Note: Restart the FrameworkUI_EAR application for changes to this property to be reflected in the banner.
