Name

String

The name for this configuration. Connectors reference the configuration with this name.

Expiration Policy

Expiration Policy

Configures the minimum amount of time that a dynamic configuration instance can remain idle before the runtime considers it eligible for expiration. This does not mean that the platform will expire the instance at the exact moment that it becomes eligible. The runtime will actually purge the instances when it sees it fit.

String

A comma separated list of cipher suites enabled for this context.

Trust Store

Trust Store

Key Store

Key Store

Revocation Check

• Standard Revocation Check
• Custom Ocsp Responder
• Crl File

Path

String

The location (which will be resolved relative to the current classpath and file system, if possible) of the trust store.

Password

String

The password used to protect the trust store.

Type

String

The type of store used.

Algorithm

String

The algorithm used by the trust store.

Insecure

Boolean

If true, no certificate validations will be performed, rendering connections vulnerable to attacks. Use at your own risk.

Path

String

The location (which will be resolved relative to the current classpath and file system, if possible) of the key store.

Type

String

The type of store used.

Alias

String

When the key store contains many private keys, this attribute indicates the alias of the key that should be used. If not defined, the first key in the file will be used by default.

Key Password

String

The password used to protect the private key.

Password

String

The password used to protect the key store.

Algorithm

String

The algorithm used by the key store.

Only End Entities

Boolean

Only verify the last element of the certificate chain.

Prefer Crls

Boolean

Try CRL instead of OCSP first.

No Fallback

Boolean

Do not use the secondary checking method (the one not selected before).

Soft Fail

Boolean

Avoid verification failure when the revocation server can not be reached or is busy.

Url

String

The URL of the OCSP responder.

Cert Alias

String

Alias of the signing certificate for the OCSP response (must be in the trust store), if present.

Path

String

The path to the CRL file.

Fails Deployment

Boolean

When the application is deployed, a connectivity test is performed on all connectors. If set to true, deployment will fail if the test doesn't pass after exhausting the associated reconnection strategy

Reconnection Strategy

• Reconnect
• Reconnect Forever

The reconnection strategy to use

Frequency

Number

How often (in ms) to reconnect

Count

Number

How many reconnection attempts to make

Frequency

Number

How often (in ms) to reconnect

Max Idle Time

Number

A scalar time value for the maximum amount of time a dynamic configuration instance should be allowed to be idle before it's considered eligible for expiration

Time Unit

Enumeration, one of:

• NANOSECONDS
• MICROSECONDS
• MILLISECONDS
• SECONDS
• MINUTES
• HOURS
• DAYS

A time unit that qualifies the maxIdleTime attribute

Initial Buffer Size

Number

This is the amount of memory that will be allocated in order to consume the stream and provide random access to it. If the stream contains more data than can be fit into this buffer, then it will be expanded by according to the bufferSizeIncrement attribute, with an upper limit of maxInMemorySize.

Buffer Size Increment

Number

This is by how much will be buffer size by expanded if it exceeds its initial size. Setting a value of zero or lower will mean that the buffer should not expand, meaning that a STREAM_MAXIMUM_SIZE_EXCEEDED error will be raised when the buffer gets full.

Max Buffer Size

Number

This is the maximum amount of memory that will be used. If more than that is used then a STREAM_MAXIMUM_SIZE_EXCEEDED error will be raised. A value lower or equal to zero means no limit.

Buffer Unit

Enumeration, one of:

• BYTE
• KB
• MB
• GB

The unit in which all these attributes are expressed

In Memory Size

Number

Defines the maximum memory that the stream should use to keep data in memory. If more than that is consumed then it will start to buffer the content on disk.

Buffer Unit

Enumeration, one of:

• BYTE
• KB
• MB
• GB

The unit in which maxInMemorySize is expressed
