Specify the Number of SSL Connections for Communication

The MaxSSLConnections attribute defines the number of SSL connections available for communication between the SAML Affiliate Agent and the producer. The default number of SSL connections is 5.

Important! The SAML Affiliate Agent is not compatible with the FIPS 140-2 encryption standards.

MaxSSLConnections="5"

To use more threads for communication, you can increase this number.

Follow these guidelines when configuring this attribute:

• The minimum value should be 1.
• The maximum value should not exceed the value of the threadpoolsize attribute specified in the affiliateserver.properties file.

  Note: If the AffiliateConfig.xml file has multiple PerPortalInfo sections, the sum of all MaxSSLConnections values should not exceed the threadpoolsize. If it does, the user may see a 500 server error in the consumer log file for some requests.
