Client parameters for web clients

These parameters override web client preferences. Any client parameter that you set on the server overrides the local client preference and prevents users from changing it. 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 the webtier.properties file. In the following table, a check mark (√) indicates that you can set the parameter from the URL or web.xml file, and an em dash (–) indicates the opposite.
