net.slp.SAAttributes

A comma-separated list of parenthesized attribute/value list pairs that the SA must advertise in

SAAdverts. The property must be in the SLP attribute list wire format, including escapes for

reserved characters.

Currently this property is ignored.

UA Conﬁguration

This section describes conﬁguration properties for the UA. These properties can be set either program-

matically by the UA or in the conﬁguration ﬁle.

net.slp.locale

An RFC 1766 Language Tag for the language locale. Setting this property causes the property value

to become the default locale for SLP messages. Default is "en". This property is also used for SA

and DA conﬁguration.

Currently only "en" (English) language is recognized and any other language tag is ignored.

net.slp.maxResults

A 32 bit integer giving the maximum number of results to accumulate and return for a synchronous

request before the timeout, or the maximum number of results to return through a callback if the

request results are reported asynchronously.

DAs and SAs always return all results that match the request. This conﬁguration value applies only

to UAs, that ﬁlter incoming results and only return as many values as net.slp.maxResults indicates.

net.slp.typeHint

A value-list of service type names. In the absence of any DAs, UAs perform SA discovery for ﬁnding

scopes. These SA discovery requests may contain a request for service types as an attribute.

The API implementation will use the service type names supplied by this property to discover only

those SAs (and their scopes) which support the desired service type or types. For example, if

net.slp.typeHint is set to "service:imap,service:pop3" then SA discovery requests will include the

search ﬁlter:

(|(service-type=service:imap)(service-type=service:pop3))

The API library can also use unicast to contact the discovered SAs for subsequent requests for these

service types, to optimize network access.

net.slp.securityEnabled

Indicates whether all agents should use authentication blocks. Currently ignored.
