36.15 Configuring the Proxy Port

To safeguard the Sentinel proxy port from potential attacks, configure the size of the data sent to the proxy port, the number of client connections, and the read timeout period.

To configure these properties:

  1. Log in as novell user and open the /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/configuration.properties file.

  2. Set the proxied.client.max.payload.size property to the maximum data size for the proxy port.

    Default value is 1 GB. If the data exceeds the specified limit, Sentinel stops the data transfer.

  3. Set the proxied.client.max.connections property to the maximum number of times a client can try to send data to the proxy port. Default value is 10.

  4. Set the proxied.client.read.timeout property to the maximum time period after which the data transfer stops. Default value is 30 seconds.

  5. Save the configuration.properties file and restart Sentinel.
