Settings page
The Settings page of the ColdFusion MX Administrator contains configuration options that you
can set or enable to manage ColdFusion MX. These options can significantly affect server
performance. The following table describes the options:
Option Description
Maximum number of
simultaneous requests
(not available in J2EE
configuration)
Enter a number to limit simultaneous requests to ColdFusion MX.
When the server reaches the limit, requests are queued and handled in
the order received. Limiting the number of simultaneous requests can
improve performance.
Timeout requests after n
seconds
Select this option to prevent unusually lengthy requests from using up
server resources. Enter a limit to the time that ColdFusion MX waits
before terminating a request. Requests that take longer than the
timeout period are terminated.
Use UUID for cftoken Specify whether to use a universally unique identifier (UUID), rather
than a random number, for a cftoken.
