| Links Top Level Elements Executors Connectors Containers Nested Components Cluster Elements web.xml Other | Apache Tomcat Configuration ReferenceThe HTTP Connector| Introduction |  | 
  The HTTP Connector element represents a
  Connector component that supports the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
  It enables Catalina to function as a stand-alone web server, in addition
  to its ability to execute servlets and JSP pages.  A particular instance
  of this component listens for connections on a specific TCP port number
  on the server.  One or more such Connectors can be
  configured as part of a single Service, each
  forwarding to the associated Engine to perform
  request processing and create the response. If you wish to configure the Connector that is used
  for connections to web servers using the AJP protocol (such as the
  mod_jk 1.2.xconnector for Apache 1.3), see
  here instead. Each incoming request requires
  a thread for the duration of that request.  If more simultaneous requests
  are received than can be handled by the currently available request
  processing threads, additional threads will be created up to the
  configured maximum (the value of the maxThreadsattribute).
  If still more simultaneous requests are received, they are stacked up
  inside the server socket created by the Connector, up to
  the configured maximum (the value of theacceptCountattribute).  Any further simultaneous requests will receive "connection
  refused" errors, until resources are available to process them. | 
 | Attributes |  | 
  | Common Attributes |  | 
  All implementations of Connector
  support the following attributes: | Attribute | Description | 
|---|
 | allowTrace | A boolean value which can be used to enable or disable the TRACE
      HTTP method. If not specified, this attribute is set to false. |  | emptySessionPath | If set to true, all paths for session cookies will be set
      to/. This can be useful for portlet specification implementations.
      If not specified, this attribute is set tofalse.A side effect to setting this to true, is that if Tomcat creates a new session it will attempt to use the 
      cookie session id if supplied by the client.

 Work around
 |  | enableLookups | Set to trueif you want calls torequest.getRemoteHost()to perform DNS lookups in
      order to return the actual host name of the remote client.  Set
      tofalseto skip the DNS lookup and return the IP
      address in String form instead (thereby improving performance).
      By default, DNS lookups are disabled. |  | maxHeaderCount | The maximum number of headers in a request that are allowed by the
      container. A request that contains more headers than the specified limit
      will be rejected. A value of less than 0 means no limit.
      If not specified, a default of 100 is used. |  | maxParameterCount | The maximum number of parameters (GET plus POST) which will be
      automatically parsed by the container. A value of less than 0 means no
      limit. If not specified, a default of 10000 is used. Note that
      FailedRequestFilterfilter can be
      used to reject requests that hit the limit. |  | maxPostSize | The maximum size in bytes of the POST which will be handled by
      the container FORM URL parameter parsing. The limit can be disabled by
      setting this attribute to a value less than or equal to 0.
      If not specified, this attribute is set to 2097152 (2 megabytes). |  | maxSavePostSize | The maximum size in bytes of the POST which will be saved/buffered by
      the container during FORM or CLIENT-CERT authentication. For both types
      of authentication, the POST will be saved/buffered before the user is
      authenticated. For CLIENT-CERT authentication, the POST is buffered for
      the duration of the SSL handshake and the buffer emptied when the request
      is processed. For FORM authentication the POST is saved whilst the user
      is re-directed to the login form and is retained until the user
      successfully authenticates or the session associated with the
      authentication request expires. The limit can be disabled by setting this
      attribute to -1. Setting the attribute to zero will disable the saving of
      POST data during authentication. If not specified, this attribute is set
      to 4096 (4 kilobytes). |  | parseBodyMethods | A comma-separated list of HTTP methods for which request
      bodies will be parsed for request parameters identically
      to POST. This is useful in RESTful applications that want to
      support POST-style semantics for PUT requests.
      Note that any setting other than POSTcauses Tomcat
      to behave in a way that does against the intent of the servlet
      specification.
      The HTTP method TRACE is specifically forbidden here in accordance
      with the HTTP specification.
      The default isPOST |  | port | The TCP port number on which this Connector
      will create a server socket and await incoming connections.  Your
      operating system will allow only one server application to listen
      to a particular port number on a particular IP address. |  | protocol | 
        Sets the protocol to handle incoming traffic.
        The default value is HTTP/1.1and configures theorg.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol. This is the blocking Java connector.If the
 PATH(Windows) orLD_LIBRARY_PATH(on most unix systems)
        environment variables contain the Tomcat native library, the APR connector
        will automatically be configured. Please be advised that the APR connector has different
        settings for HTTPS than the default Java connector.Other values for this attribute are, but not limited to:
 
 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol- same as HTTP/1.1
 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol- non blocking Java connector
 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol- the APR connector.Take a look at our Connector Comparison chart.
        The configuration for both Java connectors are identical, both for http and https.
 For more information on the APR connector and APR specific SSL settings please 
        visit the APR documentation
 |  | proxyName | If this Connector is being used in a proxy
      configuration, configure this attribute to specify the server name
      to be returned for calls to request.getServerName().
      See Proxy Support for more
      information. |  | proxyPort | If this Connector is being used in a proxy
      configuration, configure this attribute to specify the server port
      to be returned for calls to request.getServerPort().
      See Proxy Support for more
      information. |  | redirectPort | If this Connector is supporting non-SSL
      requests, and a request is received for which a matching
      <security-constraint>requires SSL transport,
      Catalina will automatically redirect the request to the port
      number specified here. |  | SSLEnabled | 
      Use this attribute to enable SSL traffic on a connector.
      To turn on SSL handshake/encryption/decryption on a connector
      set this value to true.
      The default value isfalse.
      When turning this valuetrueyou will want to set theschemeand thesecureattributes as well
      to pass the correctrequest.getScheme()andrequest.isSecure()values to the servlets
      See SSL Support for more information. |  | scheme | Set this attribute to the name of the protocol you wish to have
      returned by calls to request.getScheme().  For
      example, you would set this attribute to "https"
      for an SSL Connector.  The default value is "http". |  | secure | Set this attribute to trueif you wish to have
      calls torequest.isSecure()to returntruefor requests received by this Connector. You would want this on an
      SSL Connector or a non SSL connector that is receiving data from a 
      SSL accelerator, like a crypto card, a SSL appliance or even a webserver.
      The default value isfalse. |  | URIEncoding | This specifies the character encoding used to decode the URI bytes,
      after %xx decoding the URL. If not specified, ISO-8859-1 will be used.
       |  | useBodyEncodingForURI | This specifies if the encoding specified in contentType should be used
      for URI query parameters, instead of using the URIEncoding. This
      setting is present for compatibility with Tomcat 4.1.x, where the
      encoding specified in the contentType, or explicitly set using
      Request.setCharacterEncoding method was also used for the parameters from
      the URL. The default value is false. |  | useIPVHosts | Set this attribute to trueto cause Tomcat to use
      the IP address that the request was received on to determine the Host
      to send the request to.  The default value isfalse. |  | xpoweredBy | Set this attribute to trueto cause Tomcat to advertise
      support for the Servlet specification using the header recommended in the
      specification.  The default value isfalse. | 
 | 
 | Standard Implementation |  | 
  
  HTTP supports the following additional attributes (in addition to the
  common attributes listed above): | Attribute | Description | 
|---|
 | acceptCount | The maximum queue length for incoming connection requests when
      all possible request processing threads are in use.  Any requests
      received when the queue is full will be refused.  The default
      value is 100. |  | address | For servers with more than one IP address, this attribute
      specifies which address will be used for listening on the specified
      port.  By default, this port will be used on all IP addresses
      associated with the server. |  | bufferSize | The size (in bytes) of the buffer to be provided for input
      streams created by this connector.  By default, buffers of
      2048 bytes will be provided. |  | compressableMimeType | The value is a comma separated list of MIME types for which HTTP
      compression may be used.
      The default value is text/html,text/xml,text/plain. |  | compression | The Connector may use HTTP/1.1 GZIP compression in
      an attempt to save server bandwidth. The acceptable values for the
      parameter is "off" (disable compression), "on" (allow compression, which
      causes text data to be compressed), "force" (forces compression in all
      cases), or a numerical integer value (which is equivalent to "on", but
      specifies the minimum amount of data before the output is compressed). If
      the content-length is not known and compression is set to "on" or more
      aggressive, the output will also be compressed. If not specified, this
      attribute is set to "off". Note: There is a tradeoff between using compression (saving
      your bandwidth) and using the sendfile feature (saving your CPU cycles).
      If the connector supports the sendfile feature, e.g. the NIO connector,
      using sendfile will take precedence over compression. The symptoms will
      be that static files greater that 48 Kb will be sent uncompressed.
      You can turn off sendfile by setting useSendfileattribute
      of the connector, as documented below, or change the sendfile usage
      threshold in the configuration of the
      DefaultServlet in the defaultconf/web.xmlor in theweb.xmlof your web
      application. |  | connectionLinger | The number of seconds during which the sockets used by this
      Connector will linger when they are closed. Setting this
      attribute to -1will disable connection linger. The default
      value for the BIO and AJP connectors is 100. The default value for the NIO
      connection is 25. |  | connectionTimeout | The number of milliseconds this Connector will wait,
      after accepting a connection, for the request URI line to be
      presented.  The default value is 60000 (i.e. 60 seconds). |  | executor | A reference to the name in an Executor element.
         If this attribute is enabled, and the named executor exists, the connector will
         use the executor, and all the other thread attributes will be ignored. |  | keepAliveTimeout | The number of milliseconds this Connector will wait for
       another HTTP request before closing the connection.
       The default value is to use the value that has been set for the
       connectionTimeout attribute. |  | disableUploadTimeout | This flag allows the servlet container to use a different, longer
      connection timeout while a servlet is being executed, which in the end
      allows either the servlet a longer amount of time to complete its
      execution, or a longer timeout during data upload. If not specified,
      this attribute is set to "true". |  | maxHttpHeaderSize | The maximum size of the request and response HTTP header, specified
      in bytes.
      If not specified, this attribute is set to 8192 (8 KB). |  | maxKeepAliveRequests | The maximum number of HTTP requests which can be pipelined until
      the connection is closed by the server. Setting this attribute to 1 will
      disable HTTP/1.0 keep-alive, as well as HTTP/1.1 keep-alive and
      pipelining. Setting this to -1 will allow an unlimited amount of
      pipelined or keep-alive HTTP requests.
      If not specified, this attribute is set to 100. |  | maxThreads | The maximum number of request processing threads to be created
      by this Connector, which therefore determines the
      maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled.  If
      not specified, this attribute is set to 200. If an executor is associated
      with this connector, this attribute is ignored as the connector will 
      execute tasks using the executor rather than an internal thread pool. |  | noCompressionUserAgents | The value is a comma separated list of regular expressions matching
      user-agents of HTTP clients for which compression should not be used,
      because these clients, although they do advertise support for the
      feature, have a broken implementation.
      The default value is an empty String (regexp matching disabled). |  | port | The TCP port number on which this Connector
      will create a server socket and await incoming connections.  Your
      operating system will allow only one server application to listen
      to a particular port number on a particular IP address. |  | restrictedUserAgents | The value is a comma separated list of regular expressions matching
      user-agents of HTTP clients for which HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0 keep alive
      should not be used, even if the clients advertise support for these
      features.
      The default value is an empty String (regexp matching disabled). |  | server | Overrides the Server header for the http response. If set, the value
      for this attribute overrides the Tomcat default and any Server header set
      by a web application. If not set, any value specified by the application
      is used. If the application does not specify a value then
      Apache-Coyote/1.1is used. Unless you are paranoid, you won't
      need this feature. |  | socketBuffer | The size (in bytes) of the buffer to be provided for socket
      output buffering. -1 can be specified to disable the use of a buffer.
      By default, a buffers of 9000 bytes will be used. |  | tcpNoDelay | If set to true, the TCP_NO_DELAY option will be
      set on the server socket, which improves performance under most
      circumstances.  This is set totrueby default. |  | threadPriority | The priority of the request processing threads within the JVM.
      The default value is 5(the value of thejava.lang.Thread.NORM_PRIORITYconstant). See the JavaDoc
      for thejava.lang.Threadclass for more details on what
      this priority means. | 
 | 
 | Nio Implementation |  | 
    The NIO connector exposes all the low level socket properties that can be used to tune the connector.
    Most of these attributes are directly linked to the socket implementation in the JDK so you can find out 
    about the actual meaning in the JDK API documentation.Note: On some JDK versions, setTrafficClass causes a problem, a work around for this is to add 
    the
 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=truevalue to your command line | Attribute | Description | 
|---|
 | useSendfile | (bool)Use this attribute to enable or disable sendfile capability.
           The default value is true |  | useExecutor | (bool)Set to true to use the NIO thread pool executor. The default value is true.
        If set to false, it uses a thread pool based on a stack for its execution.
        Generally, using the executor yields a little bit slower performance, but yields a better
        fairness for processing connections in a high load environment as the traffic gets queued through a 
        FIFO queue. If set to true(default) then the max pool size is themaxThreadsattribute
        and the core pool size is theminSpareThreads.
        This value is ignored if theexecutorattribute is present and points to a valid shared thread pool. |  | executor | A reference to the name in an Executor element.
           If this attribute is enabled, and the named executor exists, the connector will
           use the executor, and all the other thread attributes will be ignored. |  | acceptorThreadCount | (int)The number of threads to be used to accept connections. Increase this value on a multi CPU machine,
        although you would never really need more than 2. Also, with a lot of non keep alive connections,
        you might want to increase this value as well. Default value is1. |  | pollerThreadCount | (int)The number of threads to be used to run for the polling events.
        Default value is 1per processor. Can't see a reason to go
        above that. But experiment and find your own results. |  | pollerThreadPriority | (int)The priority of the poller threads.
        The default value is 5(the value of thejava.lang.Thread.NORM_PRIORITYconstant). See the JavaDoc
        for thejava.lang.Threadclass for more details on what
        this priority means. |  | acceptorThreadPriority | (int)The priority of the acceptor threads. The threads used to accept new connections.
        The default value is 5(the value of thejava.lang.Thread.NORM_PRIORITYconstant). See the JavaDoc
        for thejava.lang.Threadclass for more details on what
        this priority means. |  | selectorTimeout | (int)The time in milliseconds to timeout on a select() for the poller.
           This value is important, since connection clean up is done on the same thread, so do not set this 
           value to an extremely high one. The default value is 1000milliseconds. |  | useComet | (bool)Whether to allow comet servlets or not, Default value is true. |  | processorCache | (int)The protocol handler caches Http11NioProcessor objects to speed up performance.
           This setting dictates how many of these objects get cached.
           -1means unlimited, default is200. Set this value somewhere close to your maxThreads value. |  | maxKeepAliveRequests | The maximum number of HTTP requests which can be pipelined until
        the connection is closed by the server. Setting this attribute to 1 will
        disable HTTP/1.0 keep-alive, as well as HTTP/1.1 keep-alive and
        pipelining. Setting this to -1 will allow an unlimited amount of
        pipelined or keep-alive HTTP requests.
        If not specified, this attribute is set to 100. |  | socket.directBuffer | (bool)Boolean value, whether to use direct ByteBuffers or java mapped ByteBuffers. Default is falseWhen you are using direct buffers, make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of memory for the 
                direct memory space. On Sun's JDK that would be something like
 -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=256m |  | socket.rxBufSize | (int)The socket receive buffer (SO_RCVBUF) size in bytes. Default value is 25188 |  | socket.txBufSize | (int)The socket send buffer (SO_SNDBUF) size in bytes. Default value is 43800 |  | socket.appReadBufSize | (int)Each connection that is opened up in Tomcat get associated with a read and a write ByteBuffer
           This attribute controls the size of these buffers. By default this read buffer is sized at 8192bytes.
           For lower concurrency, you can increase this to buffer more data.
           For an extreme amount of keep alive connections, decrease this number or increase your heap size. |  | socket.appWriteBufSize | (int)Each connection that is opened up in Tomcat get associated with a read and a write ByteBuffer
           This attribute controls the size of these buffers. By default this write buffer is sized at 8192bytes.
           For low concurrency you can increase this to buffer more response data.
           For an extreme amount of keep alive connections, decrease this number or increase your heap size.The default value here is pretty low, you should up it if you are not dealing with tens of thousands
           concurrent connections.
 |  | socket.bufferPool | (int)The Nio connector uses a class called NioChannel that holds elements linked to a socket.
           To reduce garbage collection, the Nio connector caches these channel objects.
           This value specifies the size of this cache.
           The default value is 500, and represents that the cache will hold 500 NioChannel objects.
           Other values are-1. unlimited cache, and0, no cache. |  | socket.bufferPoolSize | (int)The NioChannel pool can also be size based, not used object based. The size is calculated as follows:NioChannel
 buffer size = read buffer size + write buffer sizeSecureNioChannel
 buffer size = application read buffer size + application write buffer size + network read buffer size + network write buffer sizeThe value is in bytes, the default value is
 1024*1024*100(100MB) |  | socket.processorCache | (int)Tomcat will cache SocketProcessor objects to reduce garbage collection.
           The integer value specifies how many objects to keep in the cache at most.
           The default is 500.
           Other values are-1. unlimited cache, and0, no cache. |  | socket.keyCache | (int)Tomcat will cache KeyAttachment objects to reduce garbage collection.
           The integer value specifies how many objects to keep in the cache at most.
           The default is 500.
           Other values are-1. unlimited cache, and0, no cache. |  | socket.eventCache | (int)Tomcat will cache PollerEvent objects to reduce garbage collection.
           The integer value specifies how many objects to keep in the cache at most.
           The default is 500.
           Other values are-1. unlimited cache, and0, no cache. |  | socket.tcpNoDelay | (bool)same as the standard setting tcpNoDelay. Default value isfalse |  | socket.soKeepAlive | (bool)Boolean value for the socket's keep alive setting (SO_KEEPALIVE). Default is false. |  | socket.ooBInline | (bool)Boolean value for the socket OOBINLINE setting. Default value is true |  | socket.soReuseAddress | (bool)Boolean value for the sockets reuse address option (SO_REUSEADDR). Default value is true |  | socket.soLingerOn | (bool)Boolean value for the sockets so linger option (SO_LINGER). Default value is true.
           This option is paired with thesoLingerTimevalue. |  | socket.soLingerTime | (bool)Value in seconds for the sockets so linger option (SO_LINGER). Default value is 25seconds.
           This option is paired with the soLinger value. |  | socket.soTimeout | (int)Value in milliseconds for the sockets read timeout (SO_TIMEOUT). Default value is 5000milliseconds. |  | socket.soTrafficClass | (byte)Value between 0and255for the traffic class on the socket,0x04 | 0x08 | 0x010 |  | socket.performanceConnectionTime | (int)The first value for the performance settings. Default is 1, see Socket Performance Options |  | socket.performanceLatency | (int)The second value for the performance settings. Default is 0, see Socket Performance Options |  | socket.performanceBandwidth | (int)The third value for the performance settings. Default is 1, see Socket Performance Options |  | selectorPool.maxSelectors | (int)The max selectors to be used in the pool, to reduce selector contention.
        Use this option when the command line org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioSelectorSharedvalue is set to false.
        Default value is200. |  | selectorPool.maxSpareSelectors | (int)The max spare selectors to be used in the pool, to reduce selector contention.
        When a selector is returned to the pool, the system can decide to keep it or let it be GC:ed.
        Use this option when the command line org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioSelectorSharedvalue is set to false.
        Default value is-1(unlimited) |  | command-line-options | The following command line options are available for the NIO connector:
 -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioSelectorShared=true|false- default istrue. Set this value tofalseif you wish to
        use a selector for each thread. When you set it tofalse, you can
        control the size of the pool of selectors by using the 
        selectorPool.maxSelectors attribute |  | oomParachute | (int)The NIO connector implements an OutOfMemoryError strategy called parachute.
           It holds a chunk of data as a byte array. In case of an OOM,
           this chunk of data is released and the error is reported. This will give the VM enough room
           to clean up. The oomParachuterepresent the size in bytes of the parachute(the byte array).
           The default value is1024*1024(1MB).
           Please note, this only works for OOM errors regarding the Java Heap space, and there is absolutely no 
           guarantee that you will be able to recover at all.
           If you have an OOM outside of the Java Heap, then this parachute trick will not help. |  | socket.unlockTimeout | (int) The timeout for a socket unlock. When a connector is stopped, it will try to release the acceptor thread by opening a connector to itself.
           The default value is 250and the value is in milliseconds | 
 | 
 | 
 | Special Features |  | 
  | HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 Support |  | 
  This Connector supports all of the required features
  of the HTTP/1.1 protocol, as described in RFC 2616, including persistent
  connections, pipelining, expectations and chunked encoding.  If the client
  (typically a browser) supports only HTTP/1.0, the
  Connector will gracefully fall back to supporting this
  protocol as well.  No special configuration is required to enable this
  support. The Connector also supports HTTP/1.0
  keep-alive. RFC 2616 requires that HTTP servers always begin their responses with
  the highest HTTP version that they claim to support.  Therefore, this
  Connector will always return HTTP/1.1at
  the beginning of its responses. | 
 | Proxy Support |  | 
  The proxyNameandproxyPortattributes can
  be used when Tomcat is run behind a proxy server.  These attributes
  modify the values returned to web applications that call therequest.getServerName()andrequest.getServerPort()methods, which are often used to construct absolute URLs for redirects.
  Without configuring these attributes, the values returned would reflect
  the server name and port on which the connection from the proxy server
  was received, rather than the server name and port to whom the client
  directed the original request. For more information, see the
  Proxy Support HOW-TO. | 
 | SSL Support |  | 
  You can enable SSL support for a particular instance of this
  Connector by setting the SSLEnabledattribute totrue. You will also need to set the schemeandsecureattributes
  to the valueshttpsandtruerespectively,
  to pass correct information to the servlets. In addition, you may need to configure the following
  attributes: | Attribute | Description | 
|---|
 | algorithm | The certificate encoding algorithm to be used. This defaults to
      KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm()which returnsSunX509for Sun JVMs. IBM JVMs returnIbmX509. For other vendors, consult the JVM
      documentation for the default value. |  | clientAuth | Set to trueif you want the SSL stack to require a
      valid certificate chain from the client before accepting a connection.
      Set towantif you want the SSL stack to request a client
      Certificate, but not fail if one isn't presented. Afalsevalue (which is the default) will not require a certificate chain
      unless the client requests a resource protected by a security
      constraint that usesCLIENT-CERTauthentication. See the
      SSL HowTo for an example. |  | clientCertProvider | When client certificate information is presented in a form other than
      instances of java.security.cert.X509Certificateit needs to
      be converted before it can be used and this property controls which JSSE
      provider is used to perform the conversion. For example it is used with
      the AJP connectors, the HTTP APR connector and
      with the 
      org.apache.catalina.valves.SSLValve. If not specified, the default
      provider will be used. |  | keystoreFile | The pathname of the keystore file where you have stored the
      server certificate to be loaded.  By default, the pathname is
      the file ".keystore" in the operating system home
      directory of the user that is running Tomcat. If yourkeystoreTypedoesn't need a file use""(empty string) for this parameter. |  | keystorePass | The password used to access the server certificate from the
      specified keystore file.  The default value is "changeit". |  | keystoreType | The type of keystore file to be used for the server certificate.
      If not specified, the default value is "JKS". |  | keystoreProvider | The name of the keystore provider to be used for the server
      certificate. If not specified, the list of registered providers is
      traversed in preference order and the first provider that supports the
      keystoreTypeis used. |  | sslProtocol | The the SSL protocol(s) to use (a single value may enable multiple
      protocols - see the JVM documentation for details). If not specified, the
      default is TLS. The permitted values may be obtained from the
      JVM documentation for the allowed values for algorithm when creating anSSLContextinstance e.g.
      
      Oracle Java 6 and
      
      Oracle Java 7. Note: There is overlap between this attribute andsslEnabledProtocols. |  | ciphers | The comma separated list of encryption ciphers that this socket is 
      allowed to use. By default, the default ciphers for the JVM will be used.
      Note that this usually means that the weak export grade ciphers will be
      included in the list of available ciphers. The ciphers are specified using
      the JSSE cipher naming convention. |  | keyAlias | The alias used to for the server certificate in the keystore. If not
      specified the first key read in the keystore will be used. |  | trustManagerClassName | The name of a custom trust manager class to use to validate client
      certificates. The class must have a zero argument constructor and must
      also implement javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager. If this
      attribute is set, the trust store attributes may be ignored. |  | truststoreFile | The trust store file to use to validate client certificates. The
      default is the value of the javax.net.ssl.trustStoresystem
      property. If neither this attribute nor the default system property is
      set, no trust store will be configured. |  | truststorePass | The password to access the trust store. The default is the value of the
      javax.net.ssl.trustStorePasswordsystem property. If that
      property is null, the value ofkeystorePassis used as the
      default. If an invalid trust store password is specified, a warning will
      be logged and an attempt will be made to access the trust store without a
      password which will skip validation of the trust store contents. If the
      trust store password is defined as""then no
      password will be used to access the store which will also skip validation
      of the trust store contents. |  | truststoreType | The type of key store used for the trust store. The default is the
      value of the javax.net.ssl.trustStoreTypesystem property. If
      that property is null, the value ofkeystoreTypeis used as
      the default. |  | truststoreProvider | The name of the truststore provider to be used for the server
      certificate. The default is the value of the
      javax.net.ssl.trustStoreProvidersystem property. If
      that property is null, the value ofkeystoreProvideris used
      as the default. If neither this attribute, the default system property norkeystoreProvideris set, the list of registered providers is
      traversed in preference order and the first provider that supports thetruststoreTypeis used. |  | sessionCacheSize | The number of SSL sessions to maintain in the session cache. Use 0 to
      specify an unlimited cache size. If not specified, a default of 0 is
      used. |  | sessionTimeout | The time, in seconds, after the creation of an SSL session that it will
      timeout. Use 0 to specify an unlimited timeout. If not specified, a
      default of 86400 (24 hours) is used. |  | sslEnabledProtocols | The comma separated list of SSL protocols to support for HTTPS
      connections. If specified, only the protocols that are listed and
      supported by the SSL implementation will be enabled. If not specified,
      the JVM default is used. The permitted values may be obtained from the
      JVM documentation for the allowed values for 
      SSLSocket.setEnabledProtocols()e.g.
      
      Oracle Java 6 and
      
      Oracle Java 7. Note: There is overlap between this attribute andsslProtocol. |  | crlFile | The certificate revocation list file to use to validate client
      certificates. |  | allowUnsafeLegacyRenegotiation | Is unsafe legacy TLS renegotiation allowed which is likely to expose
      users to CVE-2009-3555, a man-in-the-middle vulnerability in the TLS
      protocol that allows an attacker to inject arbitrary data into the user's
      request. If not specified, a default of falseis used. This
      attribute only has an effect if the JVM does not support RFC 5746 as
      indicated by the presence of the pseudo-ciphersuite
      TLS_EMPTY_RENEGOTIATION_INFO_SCSV. This is available JRE/JDK 6 update 22
      onwards. Where RFC 5746 is supported the renegotiation - including support
      for unsafe legacy renegotiation - is controlled by the JVM configuration. |
