Setting up the WAAPI properties file

Use the WAAPI properties (waapi.init) to match your environment.

Procedure

Set the properties in the WAAPI initialization file to match your environment. Set values for those properties whose value changes rarely such as:
  • waapi.host
  • waapi.port
  • waapi.user
  • waapi.password
  • The secure connection and encryption properties

This minimizes the number of options that you need to enter on the command line.

Note: If you set the waapi.user and waapi.password properties, make sure that the properties file is protected against access for users other than authorized administrators.

If you manage several Web GUI servers from one location, you can have multiple properties files, one for each server. This enables you to tailor the properties for each server.

You can also use the properties file to hold default values for properties. You can always override any property setting using a command line option.
