Password protection for Apptivity Server processes and automatically shutdown
This document applies to: Apptivity
Version and Release Number: 3.1 build 216 and 3.2 build 330.
In a production environment not only the stability of Apptivity server processes is one of the most important requirements but also the ability to protect the server processes from unwanted access. Apptivity provides the possibility to protect any Distribution Manager, Component Manager or Proxy Manager from
unwanted shutdown with the property:
apptivity.shutdown.password
to specify within the start properties e.g in the start script for the CM with:
-Dapptivity.shutdown.password="test"
If no shutdown password is specified every Apptivity Explorer Client will be able to shutdown the Apptivity Server processes remotely after browsing through the running servers.
To still to be able to use the AdminShell to automatically shutdown the with password protected servers an undocumented command line option -password for the AdminShell exists. Example:
java progress.apptivity.admin.AdminShell -shutdownCM -password="test"
Note that even the help of the AdminShell to start with
java progress.apptivity.admin.AdminShell -shutdownCM -?
shows that option.
