WebSEAL server timeout settings

WebSEAL server timeout settings are set in the WebSEAL configuration file.

Stanza Entry	Description	Default Value
[junction] http-timeout	Timeout value for sending to and reading from a back-end server over a TCP junction.	120
[junction] https-timeout	Timeout value for sending to and reading from a back-end server over an SSL junction.	120
[junction] ping-time	WebSEAL performs a periodic background ping of each junctioned server to determine whether it is running. This value sets the time interval between these pings. To turn off the ping, set this entry to zero. If set to zero, the recovery-ping-time must be set.	300
[junction] recovery-ping-time	Optional. Sets the interval, in seconds, between pings when the server is determined not to be running. If not set, the value defaults to the ping-time setting.	300

Optionally, we can also customize the http-timeout and https-timeout settings for any particular WebSEAL junction by manually creating a junction-specific stanza for example, [junction:/WebApp] in the WebSEAL configuration file. The stanza can be customized for a particular junction by adding the adjusted configuration items to a [junction:junction_name] stanza, where junction_name refers to the junction point for a standard junction (including the leading '/'), or the virtual host label for a virtual host junction. If specified, the following settings override the default settings indicated in the previous table.

Stanza Entry	Description	Default Value (seconds)
[junction:junction_name] http-timeout	The timeout value for sending to and reading from a back-end server over a specific TCP junction.	120
junction:junction_name] https-timeout	The timeout value for sending to and reading from a back-end server over a specific SSL junction.	120
