A Java Management Extensions (JMX) connector can either be a Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector or a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connector.
Depending on the property, you can specify or set a property on the administrative console, the wsadmin tool, Application Server commands, other line commands such as the Java line command, or a custom Java administrative client program that you write. You can also set SOAP connector properties in the soap.client.props file.
For specific information on how to code the JMX connector properties for the wsadmin tool, the Application Server commands, or other line commands, see the particular tool or command. For specific information on how to code the JMX connector properties for a custom Java administrative client program, see the Java API documentation for Application Server .
For the administrative console, this article specifies the coding of the particular setting or property. Coding of properties in the soap.client.props file that are specific to JMX connectors is specified. These properties begin with com.ibm.SOAP. Other properties in the soap.client.props file that contain information that can be set elsewhere in the Application Server are not documented here. The coding for the com.ibm.ssl.contextProvider property, which can be set only in the soap.client.props file, is specified.
SOAP connector properties
This section discusses JMX connector properties that pertain to SOAP connectors.
SOAP Request timeout
Specifies the SOAP client request timeout. The value that you choose depends on a number of factors such as the size and the number of the applications that are installed on the server, the speed of your machine, and the level of usage of your machine.
The program default value for the request timeout is 600 seconds. However, other components that connect to the SOAP client can override the default. Components that use the soap.client.props file have a default value of 180 seconds.
You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout |
Data type | Integer |
Range in seconds | 0 to n If the property is zero (0), the request never times out. |
Default | 180 |
Property | requestTimeout |
Data type | Integer |
Range in seconds | 0 to n If the property is zero (0), the request never times out. |
Default | 600 |
Configuration URL
Specifies the Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the soap.client.props file. Specify the configuration URL property if you want a program to read SOAP properties from this file. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | ConfigURL |
Data type | String |
Valid Value | http://Path/soap.client.props |
Default | None |
Security context provider
Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) implementation to use between the Application Server and the SOAP client. You can specify either IBM Java Secure Sockets Extension Secure Sockets Layer or IBM Java Secure Sockets Extension that has undergone Federal Information Processing Standards certification Welcome to Security.
You can set the property by using the soap.client.props file.
Property | com.ibm.ssl.contextProvider |
Data type | String |
Valid Values | IBMJSSE IBMJSSEFIPS |
Default | IBMJSSE |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security
Use this property to enable SSL security between Application Server and the SOAP client. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled |
Data type | Boolean |
Default | False |
Property | securityEnabled |
Data type | Boolean |
Default | False |
SOAP and RMI connector properties
This section discusses JMX connector properties that pertain to both SOAP connectors and RMI connectors.
Connector type
Specify a connector type of SOAP or RMI, depending on whether Application Server connects to a SOAP server or an RMI server. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | Type |
Data type | String |
Valid values | SOAPConnector RMIConnector |
Default | SOAP |
Host
Use the host property to specify the host name or the IP address of the server to which Application Server connects. The server can be a SOAP server or an RMI server. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | host |
Data type | String |
Valid values | Host name or IP address |
Default | None |
Port
Use the port property to specify the port number of the server to which Application Server connects. The server can be a SOAP server or an RMI server. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | port |
Data type | Integer |
Valid value | Port number |
Default | None |
User name
Specifies the user name that Application Server uses to access the SOAP server or the RMI server. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid |
Data type | String |
Valid value | The value must match the global SSL settings for SOAP or RMI. |
Default | None |
Property | username |
Data type | String |
Valid value | The value must match the global SSL settings for SOAP or RMI. |
Default | None |
Password
Specifies the password that Application Server uses to access the SOAP server or the RMI server. You can set the property by using one of the following options:
Property | com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword |
Data type | String |
Valid values | The value must match the global SSL settings for SOAP or RMI. |
Default | None |
Property | password |
Data type | String |
Valid values | The value must match the global SSL settings for SOAP or RMI. |
Default | None |
