Buffer Size Question

Question:

How can I change the sizes of the buffers for the CA SSO Connector for Advanced Policy Server to send/receive data to/from PLS Connector?

Answer:

The PLS Connector allocates memory buffers to send and receive data to and from the clients that communicate with SSO Servers. The PLS Connector is one of these clients. Each PLS client needs to allocate buffers that are large enough to store the information sent to and from SSO Servers. For example, and in particular, the buffer for the client to receive data from SSO Servers must not be smaller than the buffer for SSO Servers to send data to the client. The configuration file PS_HOME\Data\pls_agent.ini allows you to set the sizes of these buffers for the PLS Connector. Usually, you do not need to change the default settings in pls_agent.ini since the default buffer sizes are large enough to handle the communication between the PLS Connector and SSO Servers in most situations. However, if there are a very large number of accounts within one SSO Server container, you may need to increase the size of the buffers.
