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

More information:

Delete Certificates from Stronghold (Apache Agent Only)

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

More information:

Use the HTTP HOST Request for the Port Number

LegacyStreamingBehavior

Specifies how content will be transferred to the server during POST requests. When the value of this parameter is set to yes, all content types are streamed, except for the following:

• text/xml
• application/x-www-form-urlencoded

When the value of this parameter is set to no, all content types are spooled.

Default: No

More information:

Choose How Content Types are Transferred in POST Requests

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

More information:

SiteMinder Reverse Proxy Deployment Considerations

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.
