About this task

These selections are displayed only if you are logged in as the administrator or a member of the administration group on a server that supports this feature.

Expand the Server administration category in the navigation area. Click Manage connection properties.
Note: The actual maximum threshold numbers are limited by the number of files permitted per process. On UNIX™ or Linux™ systems you can use the ulimit -a command to determine the limits. On Windows™ systems this is a fixed number.
  1. Select the General tab.
  2. The Allow anonymous connections check box is already selected for you so that anonymous binds are allowed. This is the default setting. You can click the check box to deselect the Allow anonymous connections feature. This action causes the server to unbind all anonymous connections.Note: Disallowing anonymous binds might cause some applications to fail.
  3. Set the threshold number to initiate the cleanup of anonymous connections. You can specify a number between 0 and 65535 in the Cleanup threshold for anonymous connections field. The default setting is 0. When this number of anonymous connections is exceeded, connections are cleaned up based on the idle timeout limit that you set in the Idle time out field.
  4. Set the threshold number to initiate the cleanup of authenticated connections. You can specify a number between 0 and 65535 in the Cleanup threshold for authenticated connections field. The default setting is 1100. When this number of authenticated connections is exceeded, connections are cleaned up based on the idle timeout limit that you set in the Idle time out field.
  5. Set the threshold number to initiate the cleanup of all connections. You can specify a number between 0 and 65535 in the Cleanup threshold for all connections field. The default setting is 1200. When this total number of connections is exceeded, connections are cleaned up based on the idle timeout limit that you set in the Idle time out field.
  6. Set the number of seconds that a connection can be idle before it is closed by a cleanup process. You can specify a number between 0 and 65535 in the Idle timeout limit field. The default setting is 300. When a cleanup process is initiated, any connections, subject to the process, that exceed the limit are closed.
  7. Set the number of seconds between write attempts that will be allowed. You can specify a number between 0 and 65535 in the Result timeout limit field. The default setting is 10. Connections that exceed this limit are closed when the cleanup process is initiated. Note: For a Windows system, a connection that exceeds 30 seconds is automatically dropped. Therefore the Result timeout limit setting is overridden by the operating system after 30 seconds.
  8. When you are finished, click Apply to save your changes without exiting, or click OK to apply your changes and exit, or click Cancel to exit this panel without making any changes.
