Wathdoc - Web Server - Configure the DSP section

Principle

Appearing in version 6.1.0.5262, this section brings together the parameters relating to the Watchdoc web server and the certificates that secure access to it. In previous versions, the DSP section is located in the Configuration System interface (Main menu > Configuration section, Advanced configuration > System configuration > DSP section).

Accessing the configuration interface

To access the Watchdoc Web Server management interface.

  1. From the Main Menu of the administration interface, Configuration section, click Advanced Configuration;

  2. in the [Server_name] > Advanced Configuration interface, click Web Server:

 

รจ This takes you to the Watchdoc Web Server management interface.

Configure the DSP section

The settings in the DSP section apply to the Watchdoc web server.

  • Web server endpoints :for WESs, if you want to use an SSL port other than the default (in particular to associate it with a specific certificate), add a specific entry point :

    • Certificate ID: the identifier is generated by default. Rename it if necessary.

    • Listening Port: indicate the number of the port responsible for establishing the call.

    • Public port: indicate the number of the public port if it is different from the listening port. This parameter is necessary if a proxy secures access to the Watchdoc server. Note that this information is only declarative: if the public port is different from the listening port, the correspondence is configured in the proxy.

    • HTTPS: tick the box if the point is secure.

    • Certificate:select the certificate associated with the entry point from the list (see Generate certificates).

    • Security protocols: In the list, select the security protocol associated with the entry point.

  • Logs subsection

    • Log incoming requests (in the web server log): check the box if you want to log the network activity (each packet request and response) on the DSP server. By default, each web request processed by the server (W3C Log compatible syntax) is recorded in a log file on disk.

    • Save all network activity on the disk (one file per request or response): check the box if ou want to save network activity;

    • Log Path: specify in this field the path to the folder where the log files should be saved.
      Because trace files require space on the server, we recommend that you enable logging temporarily to diagnose network activity on the DSP server and disable it once traces have been collected.

  • Advanced Settings subsection

    • Maximum number of clients: specify in this field the maximum number of clients allowed to connect to the server.

    • Optimize the server for use mainly from the Local Area Network (Ethernet): check the box to enable optimization

    • Optimize the server for a large number of connected clients: check the box to enable...

    • Maximum POST request size: indicate, in Gb (Mb ?), the size of POST requests accepted by the server

    • Allow Keep-Alive connections (required for some features): check this box to allow

    • Enable automatic response compression (consumes CPU resources): check this box to compress responses provided by the server to requests sent to it by third-party applications.

  • Reverse Proxy :tick this box if the network has a proxy and specify the proxy IP (for example http://localhost:8000)
