MOVEit Automation Web Admin uses the information that is specified in the config.properties file to process configuration information.

The config.properties file is in the <HOME>\MOVEit\MOVEit Automation Web Admin\Tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\ directory.

Where <HOME> is the MOVEit Automation directory that is created during installation.

To access and edit the config.properties file you must have administrative access.

To edit the config.properties file:

  1. Open the config.properties file in a text editor "As Administrator".
  2. Edit the property as required.
  3. To save the config.properties file, close the file and restart MOVEit Automation Web Admin service in Services or Task Manager.
    Tip: If your Web Admin login page is not updated after the restart, clear your browsing data to force an update.

For example, to add additional hosts, edit the comma-separated central.hosts property list. If the central.hosts property lists the following servers, the Web Admin Server host can connect to Server001, Server002, or Server003.

central.hosts=Server001,Server002,Server003

Property

Description

central.hosts=_CENTRAL_HOSTS

A comma-separated list of the Automation Server hosts to which users can connect.

Edit the list to add or remove hosts from the list of hosts to which users can connect.

central.maxLogsEachPoll=100

The number of log entries per poll from the Automation server.

The default is 100. Edit this number to increase or decrease the number of log entries per poll from the Automation server.

security.auth.accessTokenExpiresInMinutes=5

The number of minutes after which an access token expires.

The default is 5. Edit this number to increase or decrease the number of minutes after which an access token expires. You can increase the default value for convenience or decrease the value to enhance security.

The access token timeout cannot exceed the refresh token timeout.

security.auth.refreshTokenExpiresInMinutes=15

The number of minutes after which a refresh token or the Web Admin UI user session expires.

The default is 15. Edit this number to increase or decrease the number of minutes after which a refresh token expires. You can increase the default value for convenience or decrease the value to enhance security.

Note: Web Admin UI user session. Prior to MOVEit Automation 2018 SP2 the UI session timeout was controlled by the web.xml file. The refreshToken default timeout changed from 30 to 15 minutes. The pre-existing refreshToken value is not over-written. Therefore, the UI session timeout for users upgrading to 2018 SP2 is 30 minutes. To resolve this issue, change the value to 15 .

api.defaultListPageSize=20

The number of items per page returned by the REST API.

The default is 20. Edit this number to increase or decrease the number of items per page returned by the REST API.
