Service Manager Server and Web Tier configuration files

The following table describes the configuration files of the Service Manager (SM) Server and Web Tier.

Component Location File Description
Server <SM installation path>/Server/RUN/ sm.ini Service Manager Server configuration file. For more information, see Enter a parameter in the sm.ini file.
Server <SM installation path>/Server/RUN/ sm.cfg

Service Manager Server configuration file.

Parameters behave in the same way no matter whether they are specified in the server's operating system command prompt or in the sm.cfg file.

For more information, see Enter a parameter in sm.cfg or the server’s OS command prompt.

Server <SM installation path>/Server/RUN/ lwssofmconf.xml

Service Manager Server LW-SSO configuration file.

For more information, see Configure LW-SSO in the Service Manager server.

Web Tier <Web Tier>/WEB-INF/ web.xml Web Tier configuration file.

For more information, see Web tier parameters.

Web Tier
  • Default: <Web Tier>/WEB-INF/
  • Custom: <customize-folder>/config/
webtier.properties

Web Tier configuration file. For more information, see Web tier parameters.

Important The web.xml file defines lots of parameters (context-param of the web application and init-param of servlets), all of which except the customize-folder parameter can be overridden by the same parameters defined in the webtier.properties file. We strongly recommend that you configure your Web Tier using webtier.properties instead of web.xml to simplify future Web Tier upgrades.

Web Tier <Web Tier>/WEB-INF/classes/ application-context.xml Web Tier Single Sign-On configuration file (TSO, LW-SSO, and CAC)
Web Tier <Web Tier>/WEB-INF/classes/ lwssofmconf.xml Web Tier LW-SSO configuration file
