Web server plug-in custom properties

If you are using a Web server plug-in, you can add one or more of the following custom properties to the configuration settings for that plug-in.

Complete these steps to add a Web server plug-ins custom property.
  1. In the administrative console, select Servers > Web Servers > Web_server_name > Plug-in properties > Custom properties > New.
  2. Under General Properties, specify the name of the custom property in the Name field and a value for this property in the Value field. You can also specify a description of this property in the Description field.
  3. Click Apply or OK.
  4. Click Save to save your configuration changes.
  5. Re-generate and propagate the plugin-cfg.xml file.
Avoid trouble: [aug2010] You can update the global plugin-cfg.xml file using the administrative console or running the GenPluginCfg command for all of the clusters in a cell. However, you must delete the config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml file before you update the global plugin-cfg.xml file. If you do not delete the config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml file, only the new properties and their values are added to the global plugin-cfg.xml file. Any updates to existing plug-in property values are not added to the global plugin-cfg.xml file. [aug2010]

gotcha

GetDWLMTable

Specifies whether the plug-in should prefetch the partition table. When this custom property is enabled, the plugin prefetches the partition table so that affinity requests are maintained. The GetDWLMTable custom property must be enabled when memory-to-memory session management is configured for WebSphere® Application Server.

Data type String
Default False

HTTPMaxHeaders

Specifies the maximum number of headers that can be included in a request or response that passes through the Web server plug-in. If a request or response contains more than the allowable number of headers, the Web server plug-in drops the extra headers.

Data type Integer
Range 1 - 4000
Default 300
If you prefer, instead of adding this custom property, you can manually add the following values to the plugin-cfg.xml file:
HTTPMaxHeaders = "<value>" in the Config tag. Example :
<Config ASDisableNagle="false" AcceptAllContent="false"
AppServerPortPreference="HostHeader" ChunkedResponse="false"
FIPSEnable="false" HTTPMaxHeaders="2500"
IISDisableNagle="false" IISPluginPriority="High"
IgnoreDNSFailures="false" RefreshInterval="60"
ResponseChunkSize="64" VHostMatchingCompat="false">

KeyringLocation [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]

Specifies a value for the keyring initialization parameter. This parameter specifies the location of the keyring file that is used to store and protect the cryptographic keys for the server.

Data type String
Default plugins_root/etc/plugin-key.kdb

StashfileLocation [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]

Specifies a value for the stashfile initialization parameter. This parameter specifies the location of the stash file containing the encrypted password an application uses to authenticate to the server.

Data type String
Default plugins_root/etc/plugin-key.sth
