Agent Configuration Parameters Used Only for Apache Servers

The following list shows the configuration parameters used only for the Apache Web Agent in alphabetical order:

• DeleteCerts

  Specifies if the certificates stored on a Stronghold server will be removed when the Web Agent finishes using them.

  Default: No

• GetPortFromHeaders

  Directs the Web Agent to obtain the port number from the HTTP HOST request header instead of obtaining it from the web server service structures.

  Default: No

• HttpsPorts

  Specifies the secure ports the Web Agent listens on if you are using an SSL connection to the web server. If you specify a value for this parameter, you must include all the ports for all the web servers that serve secure requests. If you do not specify a value, the Web Agent reads the HTTP scheme from the web server's context.

  If a server is behind an HTTPS accelerator (which converts HTTPS to HTTP), the requests are treated as SSL connections by your browser.

  Default: Empty

  Example: 80

  Example: (multiple ports) 80,8080,8083

• LegacyTransferEncodingBehavior

  Specifies the type of message encoding used by the Web Agent. When the value of this parameter is set to no, transfer-encoding is supported.

  When the value of this parameter is set to yes, content encoding is used. The transfer-encoding header is ignored and only the content-length header is supported.

  Default: No

• ProxyAgent

  Specifies if a Web Agent is acting as a reverse proxy agent.

  When the value of this parameter is yes, the SiteMinder Web Agent on the front-end server preserves the original URL requested by the user in the SM_PROXYREQUEST HTTP header. This header is created whenever protected and unprotected resources are requested. The back-end server can read this header to obtain information about the original URL.

  Default: No

• ProxyTimeout

  Specifies the number of seconds the reverse proxy waits for the Web Agent deployed behind it to respond to a request.

  Default: No default

• ServerPath

  Specifies a unique path to each web server instance when a Web Agent is configured to use multiple instances of a web server. The ServerPath creates a unique identifier for the Web Agent's caching, logging, and health-monitoring resources.

  Default: Empty

  Example: If there are four web server instances, each loading a Web Agent, then each server's WebAgent.conf file should have the ServerPath parameter set to a unique value. You can set the ServerPath parameter to the directory where the web server's log file is stored, such as server_instance_root/logs.
