HP recommends that you consult your network administrator or security administrator to ensure the HP Web Services

for Output Server installation complies with internal security protocols. Settings on IIS and Apache servers may need

to be revised.

HP Web Services for Output Server configuration

The wsg.properties file, which contains HP Web Services for Output Server tunable parameters such as

authentication, is available in the $DAZEL_HOME/share/jboss/server/default/conf directory. By

default, authentication is set to false. You can change authentication to true to authenticate users with a login and

password at the Web Services for Output Server level. You must restart JBoss server after making changes to the

wsg.properties file.

HP Web Services for Output Server helps you create JAAS login modules and plug them into the system. The

wsg.properties file can be used to configure modules such as LDAP. The login modules are part of

Example

LOGIN_MODULE_NAME=WSGRealm

NOTE: For more details on the login module configuration, see “SSL” on page 45.

If you make changes to the login-config.xml file, you must restart the JBoss server.

Details of all the operations performed through HP Web Services for Output Server are logged in the hpomws.log

file in the

The JBoss installer uses param name=MaxBackupIndex parameter with a default value of 5. If the maximum

number of files exceeds the default value, the oldest file gets removed.
