Server Configuration File

The server_jcs.xml file contains configuration attributes for both the Java CS and the Apache DS directory which acts as its host. The server_jcs.xml file also includes settings that affect connector behavior.

The server_jcs.xml file uses Spring Framework XML support, which allows Java classes adhering to JavaBean standards (for example, property getters and setters) to be created and initialized using XML tags.

The default file path is:

jcs_home\conf\server_jcs.xml

Note: 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\server_jcs.properties file, 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.
