Configure the Core Server
This chapter details the parameters that may be changed to tune the Core Server to your environment.
Only change documented parameters in these file. Changing other data in these file, including tags, can cause system
corruption and failure. Dell cannot guarantee that problems resulting from unauthorized changes to these file can be
solved without re-installing the Core Server.
Change the Policy Arbitration from Most Secure to Least Secure
PolicyService.config
Modify this setting to change the policy arbitration from most secure to least secure. Change the setting in <Core Server
install dir>\PolicyService.config. If the Core Server is running, you must stop the Service, edit the PolicyService.config
file, then restart the Service in order for changes to this file to take effect.
We recommend that you track your changes in comments at the beginning of the file. This will allow you to easily transfer
your changes to the new PolicyServiceConfig.xml file when you upgrade.
Modify the following section:
<!-- Web Service Targets -->
<object id="PolicyService" singleton="false" type="Credant.Policy.Service.PolicyService,
Credant.Policy.ServiceImplementation">
<property name="TemplateDataAccess" ref="TemplateDataAccess"/>
<property name="PolicyDataAccess" ref="PolicyDataAccess"/>
<property name="SupportDataAccess" ref="SupportDataAccess"/>
<property name="AuditLog" ref="ServiceAuditLog"/>
<property name="GlobalArbitrationBias" value="1" />
[change this value from “0” to “1” to set the value to least
secure]
</object>
Disable Web Services
NOTE: This is an advanced setting that should only be changed under the guidance of Customer Support.
To disable web services on the Core Server (for example, if there is a second Core Server installation that only does
inventory processing), change the settings in:
<Core Server install dir>\
Credant.Server2.WindowsService.exe.Config
and
<Core Server install dir>\Spring.config
If the Core Server is running, you must stop the Service, edit the settings in these two files, then restart the Service in
order for changes to this file to take effect.
