2 Service Configuration

Service Provider URL: http://{yourDomain}/networking/Service?t=1&targetpage=ViewPort.jsp
Settings > Service Provider Settings > Service Configuration

2.1 Basic Service Configuration

These values define the basic service configuration:

2.1.1 First-Time Service Configuration

Configure the Service Settings and specify Service and Domain names:

Parameter	Description	Typical Value
Service Name	Name of the service provider	Financiocorp Services
Prefix for Service Domain	Optional subdomain name	Allowed characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - (alphanumeric, plus hyphen) Example: service
Service Domain	The Domain Name part of the URL	mydomain.com
Domain URL	Read Only Automatically populated as: Prefix + Service Domain	service.mydomain.com

2.1.2 Subsequent Configuration

These additional parameters become available after the initial configuration is complete.

Parameter	Description	Typical Value
Recaptcha Private Key	After signing up for Google's reCaptcha implementation of the Captcha service, enter the public and private keys here. (They are used to interact with that service.)
Recaptcha Public Key
Legal Notices	Includes the Software AG Legal Notices	http://documentation.softwareag.com/legal/
Error Notification Email Address	An email message is sent to this address when errors occur	customer_support@mydomain.com
No Reply Email Address	The email address to use for messages sent by the platform, when replies are not permitted	systemadministrator@mydomain.com
Help Domain	Required field; Domain name for user help; This page is opened in a new browser window when Help is invoked from the platform	http://www.mydomain.com/help
Document Directory	File location for email attachments and generated documents	/usr/local/
Temp Directory	Used as a temporary storage location	/temp/
Supported Languages	Languages that are supported in this instance of the platform, and are available for selection by tenants. Learn more: Language Translation
Whitelisted File Types	Supported file types you can upload to the application
Max Uncompressed File Size Limit (MB)	This is the maximum size for an uncompressed file that you can upload to the AgileApps platform. This limit is applicable only to package upload, static resource upload, and custom template. It is not applicable to file field, attachments, and so on.	500

2.1.3 Service Domain

The Service Domain is required, and must comply with the following guidelines:

• The Service Domain name must be unique
• Service Domain names can contain the following characters:

• alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
• hyphen (-)
• period, dot, full stop (.), used as the delimiter in the Prefix for Service Domain

2.1.4 Prefix for Service Domain

If Tenant Subdomains are enabled in the platform, this value defines the service provider's subdomain. If they are not, then the prefix adds text to the domain name that happens to include a dot (period).

The prefix field accepts alphanumerics and the underscore. The prefix is added to the Service Domain setting to produce the (read-only) Domain URL.

Examples

Prefix for Service Domain	Service Domain	Domain URL(Read Only)
	www.abc.com	www.abc.com
xyz	www.abc.com	xyz.abc.com
xyz	abc.com	xyz.abc.com

Reserved Subdomains
Admins can specify which subdomains are restricted from creation by normal tenants in the LongJump interface. When a user enters a restricted subdomain on the tenant creation page, an error message appears below that field. By default, a set of subdomains are added as reserved subdomains. It can be updated as per the requirement.

Accessing Reserved Subdomains

1. Go to LongJump > Configure Service Settings > Edit.
2. In the Reserved Subdomains field, type the subdomains you wish to restrict.
   Subdomains should be entered as comma-separated-values, with no spaces before or after the comma.
3. Ensure that you restart the server after making changes to the LongJump platform.

Considerations

• You already know that you use this URL to manage tenants:

http://{yourPrefix}.{yourDomain}/networking/Service?t=1&targetpage=ViewPort.jsp

• You can also access the platform in the same way that other tenants do, using a URL of this kind:

https://{yourPrefix}.{yourDomain}.com/networking/servicedesk/index.jsp

• That URL gives you the ServiceDesk application and other applications, just like any other tenant.

• If Tenant Subdomains are enabled, you can also enable the ServiceDesk Service Portal, which your tenants could use to file service requests.

(Without Tenant Subdomains, you can still log in to the platform to access applications--but there can be no Service Portal. That capability exists only when there is distinctive a URL that no other tenant would use to log on. If Tenant Subdomains are not enabled, then all tenants use the same URL to log in.)

2.1.5 Help Domain

As a Service Provider, you might create a help website to align with a customer's branded instance of the platform. In this case, the URL of the help website would be used as the default Help Domain. When a user clicks the Help link in the platform, that URL opens in a new browser window.

2.2 Email Configuration

Configuration for all the emails sent from the AgileApps Cloud platform.

2.2.1 Authentication Type

Choose the desired authentication type from the authentication type dropdown.

2.2.1.1 Basic configuration

Parameter	Description	Typical Value
Hostname For Email-relay Server	Hostname	localhost
User Name	User/login name for the email-relay service
Password	Password related to the user/login name for the email-relay service

2.2.1.2 OAuth configuration

Note: The OAuth configuration is supported only for Gmail server. Currently, we do not support configuration for other email servers such as Outlook and others due to some limitations in the respective email platforms.

Tip: For information about configuring Gmail server, referUsing Gmail as your server mail server article.

Parameter	Description	Typical Value
Host	The IP address of the email host, or the domain name	smtp.gmail.com
Port	The port number used to access the Mailbox	587
Username	Enter the username
Client ID	Enter the client ID copied from Google console
Client secret	Enter the client secret key copied from Google console
Scope	Enter the URL that you added in the Gmail scopes section while registering your project in the Google Cloud console
Grant Type	The option Authorization Code is pre-selected in the dropdown
Auth URL	Enter the Auth URL	https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth
Access Token URL	Enter the access token URL	https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
Redirect URL	Enter the redirect URL	https://localhost:8284/networking/rest/token
Authorization Code	Enter the authorization code

2.2.2 Bounced Email Configuration

Use this option to designate a mailbox you have set up to handle bounced messages (messages sent from the platform that come back because they cannot be delivered).

• Enable Bounced Email Processing - Yes or No
• Hostname - The server that hosts the mailbox you set up
• Mailbox Address - The address of the mailbox. (It is accessed using the POP3 protocol.)
• Password - The password used to access the mailbox. (This field appears only when editing.)
• [Test Email Configuration] - Click this button to test the settings.

2.3 Apache Configuration

Use the Apache configuration only if you use Apache web server to configure AgileApps.

• Apache Port - If you leave this field blank, it does not have any implications to the current settings of AgileApps. A single Apache web port serves all the requests made to the Apache server.

2.4 Document Server

Change the values in the Document Server Configuration section only if your document server is different from http://127.0.0.1/networking.

Note: Any changes you make to the default configurations, requires a memcache restart and an AgileApps server restart.

• Enable document server change - Select this option to activate the subsequent fields for this configuration.
• Document Server - Enter the value for your Document Server. For example, http://localhost:8284/networking. By default, this field is inactive. Also, ensure that the port number that you specify here matches the value of the port number that you enter in com.softwareag.catalina.connector.https.pid-<portnumber>.properties file or com.softwareag.catalina.connector.https.pid-<portnumber>.properties file depending on the type of connection you are using (HTTP or HTTPS). By default, the HTTP ports are used to serve the document server requests.

Note: If you are running more than one instance of AgileApps on the same machine, then ensure that the http/https port configuration for both AgileApps instances is different.

Note: Do not block HTTP port 80 at firewall level. You need to enable HTTP redirection at web server level with default document server configuration, in case of an HTTPD or NGINX configured web server in front of AgileApps server.

• Public Document Server - Enter the value for your Public Document Server. This value can be same as the Document Server or different depending on your application setup.
• Import Document Server - Enter the value for your Import Document Server. This value can be same as the Document Server or different depending on your application setup.

2.4.1 Configuring the Document Server

You can configure Document Storage in the following ways:

• Using Mount Point: You can share the document storage with all AgileApps servers by sharing a disk space among the AgileApps servers using a mount point, so that the document storage is available locally to the AgileApps server. This is the recommended approach to share Document storage using mount point among the server, so that if one backend AgileApps server goes down, it will not impact the document upload, download, or delete operations.
• Configure a dedicated AgileApps Server as Document Storage using the IP address of the AgileApps Server in Document Server Configuration of Service Provider settings. In this Approach, any document upload, download, or delete operation call goes to the dedicated AgileApps Server and if this dedicated AgileApps server goes down, then you will not be able to upload, download, or delete the documents.

2.5 Template Configuration

Use this section to configure the filename extensions that are supported in the template ZIP file. If the zip file contains any unsupported filename extension, then the template installation fails. For more information about installing a template, see How to Create a Custom User Interface (CUI). In the Whitelisted File Types section, provide the list of file extensions that you want to support. By default, the following filename extensions are supported:

Note: If you leave this field empty, all default extensions will be supported.

• html
• css
• js
• png
• jpeg
• jpg
• json
• gif
• txt

2.6 Develop Configuration

Java code running in a tenancy is subject to strict limits--or governors:

• Some settings put limits on the number of resources that tenants can use, to prevent infinite loops and other kinds of runaway programs. The limits apply to each tenant execution interval--from the time that the platform application instance gives control to tenant code, until the time that control returns to the platform. Up to that limit, an application can use as many resources as it wants. But once a constraint is exceeded, the executing code aborts with an exception.

• Other settings restrict the kinds of Java classes that can be used, to prevent unwarranted access to the server and/or security violations.

The Service Provider Settings can be used to tighten those restrictions, ameliorate them, or lift them entirely.

Considerations

• Settings are global. They apply to all tenants in the platform instance.
• Settings apply to scheduled (background) jobs, as well as foreground applications.
• The minimum for all numeric settings is "1".
• Changes to these settings take effect only when the platform application instance is restarted.

Here are the default settings:

Parameter	Description	Default Value
Apply Governors in Java Code?	Whether or not governors are applied to this platform instance. A development instance may want to turn them off, in some cases. Any multi-tenant production instance will want them on, to ensure that a runaway program in one tenant does not interfere with other tenants. Note: Currently, the code governance is available for Linux installations only.	Yes
Max Number of Statements allowed	The maximum number of Java code statements that can be run during an execution interval.	10000
Maximum String Length allowed	The total size of all strings allocated in the Java heap space during an execution interval.	30000
Maximum CPU Time allowed (milliseconds)	The maximum number of CPU milliseconds that can be consumed during an execution interval.	60000
Java classes not allowed in code	There are certain Java classes which are disallowed in tenant classes, to prevent access to the server and any compromise of server security. (They are, however, allowed in global classes developed by the ISV for use by all tenants.) In order to protect the security of the server, enter a comma-separated list of fully qualified Java Class Names for this option. At compile time, application will check if any of these classes are referenced in the user code and throw an exception if they are. Note that this will take effect only after the server is restarted.	<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div"> java.lang.System, java.lang.Runtime, java.lang.Class, java.lang.ClassLoader, java.lang.Thread, java.lang.ThreadGroup, java.lang.ThreadLocal, java.lang.Runnable, java.lang.Compiler, java.lang.RuntimePermission, java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject, java.lang.reflect.Array, java.lang.reflect.Constructor, java.lang.reflect.Field, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.reflect.Modifier, java.lang.reflect.Proxy, java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission, java.io.FileReader, java.io.FileWriter, java.io.FileInputStream, java.io.FileOutputStream, java.net.DatagramSocket, java.net.DatagramSocketImpl, java.net.HttpURLConnection, java.net.Inet4Address, java.net.Inet6Address, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetSocketAddress, java.net.JarURLConnection, java.net.MulticastSocket, java.net.ServerSocket, java.net.Socket, java.net.URL, java.net.URI, java.net.URLClassLoader, java.net.URLConnection, java.net.URLStreamHandler, java.lang.Process, java.lang.ProcessBuilder </syntaxhighlight>
Libraries supported in Java Code	When compiling user-defined code, the platform allows certain libraries like jars or internal java packages: If a custom library is required, the jar can be placed in the ../tomcat/lib folder of the Apache Tomcat installation To include these library files, enter a comma-separated list of such jar files for this option Note that this will take effect only after the server is restarted.	Empty
No. of Objects in Database Views	Database Views allow the creation of custom categories that join multiple objects These database views can be used as the base category for a Report The maximum number of tables that are allowed is five (5), with a default value of three (3) The number of joins in these tables is restricted to the maximum number + 1	Default: 3, Range is 3-5
Maximum rows in a List View	Maximum number of rows that are fetched in a List View for an object is defined by this option This number is limited by the maximum int value supported by Java/MySQL i.e. 2^16 = 4G	10000
Maximum rows in a report	Maximum number of rows that are fetched in a report This number is limited by the maximum int value supported by Java/MySQL i.e. 2^16 = 4G	5000
Maximum rows in a Scheduled Report	Maximum number of rows that are fetched in a report that runs in the background queue. This number is limited by the maximum int value supported by Java/MySQL i.e. 2^16 = 4G	5000
Maximum Savepoints	Intermediate placemarks, which identify points at which the data fields contain intact, legitimate values	5
Maximum Recursions in Java API	Allow a function to call itself the specified number of times	10

2.7 Tenant Configuration

This section is used by:

• ISVs who are hosting clients on a shared instance of the platform.
• ISV users who are setting up an instance of the Installable Version in order to Develop on Separate Platforms.

Allow Unauthenticated Tenant Creation

Allows any prospective customer to create a new tenancy (a trial account).

• Unchecked by default
• If checked, trial accounts can be created by unauthenticated users who have a computer and network connection that meets the Minimum Client Requirements

Enable Tenant Subdomains

This setting lets customers specify a URL subdomain when registering, giving them a unique URL they can use to access their platform applications.

Learn more: Tenant Subdomains

2.8 Catalog Configuration

Configuration for application Packages:

Package Catalog URL

The URL of the Application Catalog, where Packages are published.

Default is Service?t=8 (https://{yourDomain}/networking/Service?t=8

Considerations

• This is the older format used to display a list of published packages. In this format, only an image and a short description are displayed for each package. The newer Community Marketplace functionality can be selected in the Community section that follows. That format allows more Catalog Information to be displayed for each application package.

• If you want to use this functionality, you should disable the Community Tenant defined in the next section. Otherwise, you should clear the Package Catalog URL field.

• Only Packages approved by the Service Provider are available for installation.

Learn more: Manage Catalog

2.9 Community Site Configuration

The community site is enabled by default. All users in all tenancies supported by an ISV can access and use the Community features.

Community Site settings

Enable Community

Checkbox. Enabled by default. Clear it to disable the community feature.

Community Tenancy ID

Read-only display of the Community Tenant ID.

Community Site Name

Read-only display of the name displayed on each community page.

Marketplace Service Domain

The Community Marketplace is a newer format for a list of approved packages that are available for installation. It provides a richer interface than the older Catalog format, and allows much more Catalog Information to be displayed for application packages.

• Providing a value in this field activates the Community Marketplace.
• The value can be the service's domain name with an optional subdomain, or the service's IP address.

Considerations

• The specified domain or IP address must match the Service Domain specified for this installation.
• If Tenant Subdomains are enabled, a subdomain can be specified using the format {subdomain}.{yourDomain}.
  For example: applicationcatalog.yourService.com.
• If this value is specified, the Package Catalog URL field in the section above should be cleared.

2.10 Global Tenancy

From the designated tenancy, specified objects and the data they contain can be shared with other tenants who have installed a package that contains those objects.

Learn more: Global Data

Global Tenancy ID

The ID of tenant from which objects are shared.

To delete a user, both Enable User Deletion and Delete User options should be enabled.	Yes
Enable Alias Creation on Deleting User	Allows you to create an alias when you delete a user from the application. The system uses the first two letters of your first name and the first two letters of your last name to create the alias.	Yes

2.12 Security Headers Configuration

Enter the whitelisted domains for Content Security Policy (CSP) and Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers. The domains listed here are parsed and added dynamically to the request / response headers for the tenant. Content access to and from AgileApps is not restricted for the domains listed here.
