Remove the site toolbar on a production server
The site toolbar provides access to editing features for managed pages, including adding and editing pages and web content. Although essential for an authoring server, IBM recommends disabling the site toolbar on a delivery server. We can disable the toolbar for an entire portal or for specific virtual portals.
The site toolbar function is not typically needed on a delivery server, and disabling the site toolbar can improve performance on the delivery server.

global.toolbar.enabled=false
This setting disables the site toolbar for all virtual portals.
- For each virtual portal other than the default where to disable the site toolbar, specify the following properties.
- context.virtual_portal_context.property.toolbar.enabled
- Set the value to false. Replace virtual_portal_context with the context of the target virtual portal (for example, context.vp1.property.toolbar.
- hostname.virtual_portal_hostname.property.toolbar.enabled
- Set the value to false. Replace virtual_portal_hostname with the host name of the target virtual portal (for example, hostname.vp.example.com.property.toolbar.enabled.
If defined, the global.toolbar.enabled property acts as a fallback setting for virtual portals that have no values defined.
