Configure Mid-Tier Options for Security

The DataFlux Data Management Server uses the following mid-tier configuration options when it connects with a SAS Metadata Server and with the Visual Process Orchestration software. The default values of these options, which are set at install time, are sufficient in most cases. You can set these options in the file install-path/etc/app.cfg.

Note: The server’s app.cfg file needs to be maintained in parallel with the app.cfg files used by the instances of DataFlux Data Management Studio that contribute jobs to the server.

Configuration Option	Description
BASE/APP_CONTAINER_DOMAIN	Specifies the authentication domain that is expected by mid-tier application container services. If this option is not specified, then the value of DefaultAuth is used by default. DefaultAuth specifies a default authentication domain at install time.
BASE/APP_CONTAINER_LOC	Specifies the path to the mid-tier application container services. In most cases this option is not required. If it is required, then the value is typically an HTTP address.
BASE/AUTH_DEFAULT_DOMAIN	Specifies the name of the resolved identity domain. When a supplied user ID is associated with multiple logins in metadata, the authentication domain for the submitted credentials in the following sequence: Use the value of BASE/AUTH_DEFAULT_DOMAIN, if the value matches the authentication domain of one of the user’s logins, or Use the value of DefaultAuth, if the value matches the authentication domain of one of the user’s logins, or Use the domain of the first login that matches the submitted login.
