Web Server Configuration Settings

After you install the product, you can change the settings for the web server.

The following fields require explanation:

Web Server or Load Balancer IP/Host

The CA APM installation, by default, sets this field to the web server host name.

Note: The web server can be registered with a different name in the Domain Name System (DNS) than what is registered as the web server host name. In this situation, specify the different name in this field.

Authentication Timeout

Amount of time, in milliseconds, that users can be inactive before they are automatically logged out of the product and must log in again.

Default: 3600000 (6 minutes)

State Data

The temporary view data that is stored at the server side for each user until the user logs off. This data can be stored either in the database or on the web server file system. The value of State Data can be SERVER (FileSystem) or DATABASE.

Cache Timeout

The elapsed time-out period for cached files to be deleted from the store.

When a user logs in, along with view data, documents are stored in system memory (Cache). If the user is not referring to these documents, the documents become stale. After some time, these documents are deleted. The time limit is the Cache Timeout.

Auto complete Result Count

The number of values to display in the Auto Complete drop-down lists. In fields with lists, the user can start to type a value and the product provides a list of matching values. The user can then select a value from this Auto Complete list.

Note: If you set a low number for this parameter, the Auto Complete list may not be useful since the user will have to type most of the value before finding it in the list. If you set a high number for this parameter, the list could perform slowly.

Homepage

The default CA APM home page that is opened after the user logs in.

SW Web Service Protocol

The protocol that is used to access the Storage Manager Service.

The Storage Manager Service provides file storage facility to other product components. When the other components want to interact with the Storage Manager Service, the components use this protocol.

SW Webservice Port

The port on which the Storage Manager Service is running.

This port is the HTTP port on which the Storage Manager Service is hosted. The default port is 80. If the Storage Manager Service is configured to host on a different port, that port number is shown.

EEM Backend

The name of the server where CA EEM is installed. This value is populated during installation.

Reporting Web Service Server

The CA Business Intelligence server name and port. This value is populated during installation.

Reporting Timeout

The time-out in seconds for a connection to the CA Business Intelligence (reporting) web service.

Reporting Name

The name of the CA Business Intelligence (reporting) engine. This name is always "Allegheny Reporting Engine".

Reporting User

The CA Business Intelligence (reporting) user with administrative privileges.

Reporting Password

The password for the Reporting User.

External AuthHeader

This header works with the External setting of Authentication Type on the CA EEM configuration. The external authentication mechanism sets information in the HTTP header for the CA APM web pages to receive. One piece of information is the User Id. The External AuthHeader is the name of the variable external authentication that sets the User Id value. The External AuthHeader setting must match the configured setting in the external authentication for which the User Id is provided.

From Address

The From email address for the notifications that are sent from the Event Service.

To List

The list of recipients who receive the email notifications about issues from the Event Service.

Cc List

The list of recipients in the Cc list who receive the email notifications about issues from the Event Service.

Bcc List

The list of recipients in the Bcc list who receive the email notifications about issues from the Event Service.

Email Subject

The subject line in the email notification about issues that the Event Service sends to the recipients in the To List, Cc List, and Bcc List.

Note: If you change the setting on Administration, System Configuration, Web Server for the Web Server Protocol or the Web Server or Load Balancer IP/Host, you must restart the Windows service for CA Asset Portfolio Management – Export Service.
