Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server configuration settings
The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server runs a process called KfwServices, which has a set of environment variables that can be edited and enabled for certain configuration requirements. This can be done through the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services application or at the command line using itmcmd manage.
For example, when you have security enabled, you can control the number of log in attempts before a user is locked out of the portal.
To set the application properties for advanced configuration functions on UNIX or Linux, such as the location of the web browser that the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client launches, this has to be done manually.
If the portal server connects to a hub monitoring server that is on a z/OS system that does not have the Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) installed, you must edit the environment file to add a new line.
Any customizations made within the TEPS/e administration console, such as to configure TLS/SSL communications to the LDAP server, are overwritten and cleared any time the portal server is reconfigured unless you chose the LDAP type of Other during portal server configuration through Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services. To prevent this from occurring, choose the LDAP type of Other during portal server configuration. When Other is chosen, the LDAP user registry information is handled by TEPS/e and is not affected by Tivoli Management Services directly. See step 5.
