SOAP connector and Inter-Process Communications connector properties files

SOAP connector and Inter-Process Communications connector properties files

Use the soap.client.props file to set properties for the SOAP connector and the ipc.client.props file to set properties for the Inter-Process Communications (IPC) connector. Most of the properties in the ipc.client.props file have corresponding properties in the soap.client.props file.
The SOAP connector properties file for a particular profile is at the following location:
$WP_PROFILE/properties/soap.client.props

The IPC connector properties file for a particular profile is at the following location:
$WP_PROFILE/properties/ipc.client.props

The following table provides basic information on the various properties. Read the properties files to obtain more detailed information.
Some properties are split on multiple lines for printing purposes.

Table 1. SOAP connector and IPC connector property descriptions

SOAP connector properties IPC connector properties Description
com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled com.ibm.IPC.securityEnabled Enablement of security for the connector. Set the property to true to enable security.
com.ibm.SOAP.authenticationTarget com.ibm.IPC.authenticationTarget Type of authentication for the connector if security is enabled. We can specify <codeph>BasicAuth</codeph> for basic authentication. If no value is specified, basic authentication is used.
com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid com.ibm.IPC.loginUserid User ID for the connector if security is enabled, and you do not enter a user ID through a command prompt or standard in.
com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword com.ibm.IPC.loginPassword Password for the connector if security is enabled, and you do not enter a password through a command prompt or standard in.
com.ibm.SOAP.loginSource com.ibm.IPC.loginSource Automatic prompting for the user ID and password when you specify prompt. Prerequisites for using this property are discussed in the properties file for the particular connector.
com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout com.ibm.IPC.requestTimeout Long in seconds the connector waits for a server response. The property for the SOAP connector and the property for the IPC connector are each initially set to 180 in their respective properties files.
com.ibm.ssl.alias com.ibm.ssl.alias Alias to use for a SSL configuration for client connections. The value of the alias is what you want it to be.
timeToExpiration Time in seconds that connections can be idle in the connection pool. Beyond this time the connections are purged. The initial setting for the property is 360.
