Cloud Server Configuration

SERVER_PASSWORD

SERVER_PASSWORD is the password to protect the administration functions of the server.

Note: This can be changed within the Management Client, which means a full server restart will not be necessary.

SERVER_PORT

SERVER_PORT is used when you connect to the Management Client or opt to use the IIS integration instead of the integrated web-server. For more detail see the Cloud Server Using IIS topic.

Note: When changing this port, check for other services on the same one. We recommend that this port is not exposed to any external networks, as encryption cannot be applied to it.

AUDIT_TIME_PERIOD

The number of seconds between the system logs recording activity on each database.

DBMAN_DEFAULTMAXSIMQUERIES

The default maximum number of queries that can be run at a time for any configured database. This can be changed directly within the Management Client (see Default Max Simultaneous Queries under Global Server Options in the Cloud Server Management Client topic).

Note: As this can be set directly within the Management Client, a full server restart will not be required.

TEMP_DIRECTORY

The location to write temporary files before they are sent to clients. You should not generally need to change this.

LOGGING_LEVEL

Determines how verbose the server should be when writing log files. The valid values are: OFF, FATAL, WARNING, INFO and SYSTEM. The value can be changed directly within the Management Client. (See Log Level under Global Server Options in the Cloud Server Management Client topic).

Note: As this can be set directly within the Management Client, a full server restart will not be required.

LOGGING_DIRECTORY

Defines where the log files are to be stored. The default is set to:

     =%SERVICE_PATH%\Logs

Note: The =%SERVICE_PATH% refers to the directory where the Cloud service is installed.

LOGGING_FILECOUNT

Determines the maximum number of rolling log files kept. When the file count is exceeded, the oldest file is automatically deleted.

LOGGING_FILESIZE

Determines the maximum file size of each log file. When the logging file size is reached a new log file is created.

For more details on using the logs see the Cloud Server Troubleshooting topic.

SERVER_PORT

The port on which the server will listen for HTTP connections; each connection must be unique and not used by any other services on the machine. You must check that no firewalls are blocking this port on the client or server. You can use the standard HTTP port (80) or HTTPS port (443).

Note: When changing this, check firewall settings and other services using that port.

REQUIRE_SSL

Should be set to 1 to enable HTTPS on this port; HTTPS should be enabled for all connections that are being exposed on public networks. HTTPS requires a private key file (server.pem), to be included in the same directory as the configuration file, before it will run.

Note: This unique file must be user-created. See Creating a Self-Signed Certificate using OpenSSL in Cloud Server Installation.

DEFAULT_MODEL

Allows a single model to be exposed on a port, making it possible to use a different port for each model. Model Names are discussed further in the Connecting Enterprise Architect to a Cloud Server topic.

MODEL_AUTHENTICATION

Can be set to 1 to request HTTP authorization using the user security defined in the Enterprise Architect model being connected to. Passwords must be explicitly and individually assigned in that model using the Maintain Users procedure; the default administrator password and any passwords imported from Windows Active Directory do not work. Note that if you are not using SSL to connect, the usernames and passwords will be sent in plain text.

If the model does not have security enabled, the Cloud user is not prompted for a password.

This option is mutually exclusive with GLOBAL_AUTHENTICATION.

GLOBAL_AUTHENTICATION

Can be set to the name of an Enterprise Architect model with security enabled that will provide the list of users for all models accessed by the connection. This is helpful if you want to provide multiple models but only manage one list of users.  Passwords must be explicitly and individually assigned in the reference model using the Maintain Users procedure; the default administrator password and any passwords imported from Windows Active Directory do not work.

This option is mutually exclusive with MODEL_AUTHENTICATION.

OSLC_SUPPORT

Enabled by default. It allows models to be queried using the 'Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration' standard. This is discussed further in the OSLC Requirements Management topic.

Set to 0 to disable.
