3 Node Manager
3-14 Administration Guide
The default port on which the Node Manager will listen for requests from the
Administration Server is 5555. You can change this with the following startup
parameter:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenPort=port
The Node Manager creates logs for each Managed Server that it is responsible for. By
default, these are subdirectories under a directory
NodeManagerLogs. You can change
the location of this directory with the following startup parameter:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.savedLogsDirectory=path
The Node Manager uses Secure Socket Layer for its communication with the
Administration Server. For this reason, you must specify a digital certificate when
starting the Node Manager. You can specify the location of the certificate with the
following startup parameter:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.certificateFile=path_to_cert
The default certificate type used with Node Manager is RSA. If you want to specify a
different certificate type (such as DSA), use the following argument on the command
line:
–Dweblogic.nodemanager.certificateType=type
where type is either RSA or DSA.
To pass the private key password, used to access the encrypted private key, use the
following argument on the command line:
–Dweblogic.nodemanager.certificatePassword=pkpassword
where pkpassword is the private key password.
The certificate authority, or chain of authority, used to certify the user’s identity is
contained in a trusted certificate authorities file. By default this is
config/demo.crt.
You can specify another trusted certificate authorities file by using the following
argument on the command line:
–Dweblogic.nodemanager.trustedCerts=path
where path is the location of the trusted certificate authorities file.
You also need to specify the location of the BEA home directory — the root directory
under which all BEA products and licenses are installed. You can specify the BEA
home directory with the following command-line argument:
