Listen backlog

Number of client connections allowed in a queue before connections are refused. Valid values range from 0 to 999.

Accept timeout

Number of seconds that the accepter listens before a timeout occurs. The default is 30. Valid values range from 0 to 9999.

SSL handshake timeout

How many seconds are allowed for an SSL handshake. If the SSL handshake does not occur during this time, the session is terminated. This parameter ensures that a connecting client authenticates within a fixed amount of time. The default is 30 seconds. Valid values range from 0 to 9999.

Connect timeout

How many seconds are allowed for an outbound connection from the server before a timeout occurs, if the connection is not accepted. Valid values range from 0 to 9999.

Read timeout

How many seconds elapse before a read operation times out, if unsuccessful. Valid values range from 0 to 9999.
Maximum consecutive failed login attempts Used to determine the maximum login attempts and controls the number of times an Admin user is allowed to make a login attempt without success before the account is locked out. Default is 0 and thus disables this functionality. A required value of 1 or above must be entered to this functionality to be enabled.
Lock time after consecutive failed attempts Used to indicate the amount of time (in minutes) that a locked admin account is locked before it can be made active again. Default is 10. There are no upper limits for this parameter.
Enable JMS queuing for CM Used to enable JMS queueing for SSP Configuration Manager. When selected, SSP Configuration Manager collects engine status and writes it to the JMS queue, along with SSP Configuration Manager configuration events.
JMS queue heart beat interval Used to indicate how often the engine heartbeat event is pushed into the JMS queue for processing.
JMS connection info Lists configured JMS configurations available within the system. These configurations are identified in the JMS Configuration tab of the System Settings screen. Required to enable connection for an identified JMS queue.
Enable SSP CM startup backup Used to control if the SSP configuration manager will perform a backup of the configured objects during the SSP configuration startup process. When selected, the SSP configuration manager will backup all configured objects. Default value = enabled.
Backup directory Used to specify the directory that SSP configuration manager uses to backup configured SSP configuration manager objects during the SSP configuration manager startup process when Enable SSP CM backup is selected. If no value is specified and SSP CM backup is enabled, the SSP CM defaults to [SSP_CM_INSTALL]/CM-BACKUP-yyyyMMddhhmmss. YYYY = year, MM = month, dd = day, mm = minute, ss = second of the date the backup took place.
Rows per page Used to determine the maximum number of items and rows per page for SSP CM tables. Default value is 100.
SSP CM name Used to specify the name of an instance of the SSP configuration manager to enable a unique identify of an instance of SSP CM. Included in certain audit events that are written to the JMS queue. If no value is specified, the default value is SSP-CM.
Minimum webserver session Id Length The minimum web server session Id length field is used to impose a minimum length on the web server generated session Ids. Primarily used to control the web server session Ids for clients connecting to the SSP CM. If no value is specified, the default minimum web server session Id length will be 48 characters.
