Customize the WSRP configuration of the Consumer portal

We can customize some aspects of you consumer portal.

This customization is optional.

• Customize the WSRP resource proxy
  The WSRP resource proxy is used by the consumer to load resources referenced by remote portlets.

• Configure timeout properties for the WSRP communication
  We can configure web service timeout properties for the WSRP communication on the Consumer. We can configure the timeout properties in the WP Configuration Service or as a preference specifically for remote portlets.

• Configure a limit for the size of file uploads
  We can configure a limit for the size of file uploads during an action request. We can also configure the Consumer behavior if a file upload exceeds the defined limit.

• Switch off the caching of Producer service descriptions
  By default, the Consumer portal caches the WSRP service descriptions that it receives from Producers. If required, we can switch off the caching.

• Customize Client Cookie Forwarding
  A client can send cookies to the consumer as part of an HTTP request. We can customize the consumer to forward specific client cookies to the Producer ports or to other resources that are served by the consumer as a proxy.

• Configure remote session invalidation
  We can configure the consumer to invalidate the remote session when a user explicitly logs out of the Consumer portal. If we enable remote session invalidation and a user logs out of the Consumer portal, the Consumer sends a releaseSessions WSRP request to all the Producers with which the user interacted. The Producers portals can then invalidate these sessions.
