Device Manager server properties
194
8-2-10 server.http.socket.linger
This Boolean property toggles whether the SO_LINGER socket attribute is enabled for client
connections with the Device Manager server. Setting this flag to its default value means a linger-on-
close timeout of 60 seconds is applied to socket connections. You should only modify this property if
you are an expert System Administrator seeking to fine-tune the server's performance.
Default: true
8-2-11 server.http.socket.noDelay
This Boolean property toggles whether the TCP_NODELAY socket attribute is enabled for
connections to the Device Manager server. Setting this flag at its default value disables the Nagle
algorithm for TCP/IP packets. You should only modify this property if you are an expert System
Administrator seeking to fine-tune the server's performance.
Default: true
8-2-12 server.http.headers.maxNumber
This property sets the maximum number of HTTP headers permitted for any request submitted to
the Device Manager web server, and helps prevent certain types of denial of service and attempted
buffer overflow attacks by restricting the effect of malicious requests containing a large number of
headers. You should not need to change this setting under normal circumstances. The Device
Manager server silently ignores any HTTP headers in excess of this number. Runtime errors are not
automatically generated under such circumstances.
Default: 20
8-2-13 server.http.headers.maxLength
This property sets the maximum length permitted for any HTTP header (in bytes). You should not
need to change this setting under normal circumstances. It helps prevent certain types of denial of
service and attempted buffer-overflow attacks by restricting the effect of malicious requests that
contain unusually large header fields. Headers longer than the specified length will be truncated by
the Device Manager server without automatically generating runtime errors.
Default: 1024
8-2-14 server.http.entity.maxLength
This property sets the maximum length of an HTTP request entity (in bytes). You should not need to
change this setting under normal circumstances. It helps prevent certain types of denial of service
and attempted buffer overflow attacks by restricting the effect of malicious requests that contain
unusually large payload entities. If the server detects a posted request longer than this value, it
sends an error response to the client and logs details of the attempted request.
Default: 131072
8-2-15 server.http.log.reverseDNS
This Boolean property flags whether the Device Manager server performs reverse-DNS lookup for
its access logging. When set, this property the server attempts to resolve the name of a client from
the IP address for incoming connections. If the client's IP address can be resolved, the domain
name is also written into the server's access log. Not all IP addresses on the Internet have an
