System properties

The system properties page is used to configure basic settings for the framework.
Table 1. System properties
Name Value Example Description
External Web URL None https://www.mybank.com:58080 Partial URL defining the location where the user's browser requests are directed to reach the Control Center. A value is required only if the network includes intermediate nodes that alter the request header to substitute a server name or port that is not reachable from the user's system. Control Center applications use this property to generate URLs on a user's browser page.

Syntax: protocol://host:port

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 associated with certain user requests to an audit or event log. By default, the address is the source of the HTTP request, which may represent the originating client machine 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 coming 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 specified in this property are not applied to static content such as style sheets 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, the Control Center uses framing. Do not use the DENY option when specifying the X-FRAME-OPTIONS response header.

Note: Restart the FrameworkUI_EAR application for changes to this property to take effect.
Login User Exit None com.yourcompany.Loginuserexit Fully qualified user exit class name for processing log in requests. The user exit class configured on this page is called when the user logs in for role based authorization.
Logout URL None http://www.ibm.com URL to which the user is directed when logging out. If this property is not specified when using single sign on, the user is directed to the welcome page. If this property is not specified in a non-single sign on environment, the user is directed to the login page.
Note: When using this property 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.yourcompany.LoginSSOuserexit Fully qualified user exit name for single sign on requests. The user exit class configured on this page 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 the additional custom properties required for the optional values for single sign on.
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 Indicate how the navigation is displayed on the user interface pages. It is located on either the top or the side of the page.
Operational time zone None UTC (GMT +0:00) The time zone to use when generating FTM reports and displaying specific pages, such as the Processing Windows page.
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.
Web Service Browser Default Enabled, Disabled, Documentation only Indicate if the Web Service Browser is enabled, disabled, or provides documentation only.
Note: Restart the FrameworkUI_EAR application to activate changes to this property value.
Data Security Classification   Restricted Identifies the data security classification to be displayed in the black banner (to the left of the product title or instance name) of the user interface. If the user interface contains restricted data, setting a classification of Restricted ensures that this classification is viewable for all pages that are displayed within the user interface.
