Overriding Server Configuration Property Values

You can override the default values of server policy configuration properties on a per server basis without creating new policies for each server. In this way, you can override server policies that define default configuration values and customize those values based on your runtime requirements.

To override server configuration property values:

  1. Right-click one of the following binding components:

    • A service binding component in the Exposed Services swimlane, and select For Request.

    • A reference binding component in the External References swimlane, and select For Callback.

  2. Go to the Security or Management section. These instructions assume you previously attached policies in these sections.

    The Edit icon is not enabled by default for both sections. You must explicitly select a policy to enable this icon. This is because you can override fewer property values for the server. Figure 47-9 provides details.

  3. Select an attached policy that permits you to override its value, and click the Edit icon.
  4. In the Override Value column, enter a value to override the default value shown in the Value column. Figure 47-10 provides details. If the policy store is unavailable, the words no property store found in the store display in red in the Value column.
