Managing Connections
You can limit the period of time that users are connected to the server. In addition, you
can specify the number of connections to websites on the server at any one time.
Setting Simultaneous Connections for the Web Server
You can specify the number of simultaneous connections to your web server. When the
maximum number of connections is reached, new requests receive a message that the
server is busy.
Simultaneous connections are concurrent HTTP client connections. Browsers often
request several parts of a webpage at the same time, and each of those requests is a
connection. So a high number of simultaneous connections can be reached if the site
has pages with multiple elements and many users are trying to reach the server at
once.
To set the maximum number of connections to your web server:
1 In Server Admin, click Web for the server you want.
2 Click Settings in the button bar.
3 In the General pane, enter a number in the “Maximum simultaneous connections” field.
The range for maximum simultaneous connections is 1 to 2048. The default maximum
is 500, but you can set the number higher or lower, taking into consideration the
desired performance of your server.
4 Click Save.
Web service restarts.
