Override server_jcs.xml Settings

The installer overrides the server_jcs.xml file during upgrades. If you make any manual customizations, we recommend that you use the matching property settings in the jcs_home\conf\override\sample.server_jcs.properties file instead, as the installer does not overwrite this file.

You can find examples of the settings which you can manually set in the file jcs_home\conf\override\SAMPLE.server_jcs.properties.

You can also override most other settings by using property names matching the nested structure of the entries in server_jcs.xml, as shown in the SAMPLE.server_jcs.properties file.

To override server_jcs.xml file settings

1. Rename jcs-home/conf/override/SAMPLE.server_jcs.properties to server_jcs.properties.
2. In the new server_jcs.properties file, remove the leading # character from the property you want to override.

   For example, the property configuration.ldapsCertificatePassword overrides <property name=ldapsCertificatePassword><value>…<value></property> nested within <bean id=configuration in server_jcs.xml.

3. Update value of property (text after the '=' character) to the new value.
4. Restart the JCS.
