File Descriptors

The maximum number of file descriptors available to a Policy Server must match or exceed the sum of the maximum numbers of connections configured for each Web Agent talking to this Policy Server. However, in the case of Apache Web Agents, each child process may potentially use up to the maximal number of connections as well.

Therefore, it is recommended that the maximum number of file descriptors is set to unlimited on the Policy Server side. The maximum number of file descriptors can be configured by running the ulimit -n <value> command, where <value> is a positive integer or the word "unlimited".
