Define the Web Engine Role by Web Director Parameters

Once a web engine has been configured to use a web director, the web engine takes on a distinct role. This role defines which web client requests the web engine is to handle. The roles are as follows:

Service only logins (redirect non-logins elsewhere)
Service only non-login requests (redirect logins elsewhere)
Service both login and non-login requests (‘general purpose’ web engine)

This role is determined by the 'WebDirector' parameter values in the web engine's '<Host_Name>-web[#].cfg' file. The following table illustrates the web engine role to web director parameter setting relationship:

Web Engine Role	‘<Host_Name>-web[#].cfg’ ‘webdirector’ Parameter Settings
Service login requests	‘UseDirector AfterLogin’; ‘Willingness 0’
Service non-login activity	‘UseDirector BeforeLogin’; ‘Willingness [1 thru 10]’
General purpose	‘UseDirector Yes’; Willingness [1-10]’
