Web parameter: customize-folder

Web parameters change the behavior of the web clients that connect to the web tier. You can set some of these parameters from the web client login URL, some from the web tier configuration file (web.xml), and some from both.

Parameter

customize-folder

Description

This parameter specifies the absolute path to a folder on the web tier host in which your web client branding files and web client keystore password are stored. You must have write access to this directory to rebrand the web client or specify your web client keystore password.

You need to place your branding image files in this folder. When you perform branding in the branding interface, Service Manager saves your branding settings in a branding.xml file and in a branding-images subfolder under this folder.

Caution This parameter is required to enable the branding interface. If it is not specified, when you click Tailoring > Branding, the branding interface is not launched and an error message is displayed instead.

When configuring SSL between the Service Manager server and the web client, you need to specify the web client keystore password in a webtier.properties file that you create in the <customize-folder>/config/ folder. For more information, see Encryption of client keystore passwords.
