Traffic Manager Configuration Options
Activity timeout (inbound)
Specifies the maximum time the Traffic Server should remain
connected to a client. If the client does not finish making a request—
reading and writing data—before this timeout expires, the Traffic
Server closes the connection.
NOTE:
The client can close the connection at any time.
Activity Timeout Outbound
Specifies the maximum time the Traffic Server should wait for
fulfillment of a connection request to an origin server. If the Traffic
Server does not establish connection to an origin server before this
timeout expires, the Traffic Server terminates the connection
request.
NOTE:
The origin server can close the connection at any time.
Remove common headers
You can remove any of these headers (which accompany
transactions) to protect the privacy of your site:
•
The From header (identifies the client’s e-mail address)
•
The Referer header (identifies the Web link followed by the
client)
•
The User-Agent header (identifies the agent—usually a
browser—making the request)
•
The Cookie header (the cookie field is often used to identify the
user that made the request)
Comma-separated list of other
headers to remove
Enter a comma-separated list of headers (other than from, referer,
user-agent, and cookie) that you want to remove.
Insert Client-ip
Select Insert Client-ip to retain client IP addresses from headers.
Remove Client-ip
Select Remove Client-ip to remove client IP addresses from headers
for more privacy.
NNTP
NNTP Server on/off
Enables the Traffic Server to cache and serve news articles.
NOTE:
After turning NNTP on or off, you must restart the Traffic
Server cluster to effect the change.
NNTP Server Port
Specifies the port that the Traffic Server uses for serving NNTP
requests. The default port is 119.
NOTE:
The traffic_manager process must run as root to connect to
port numbers less than 1024.
Connect Message (posting allowed)
The message that is displayed to news readers when they connect to
the Traffic Server, if posting is allowed.
Connect Message (posting not
allowed)
The message that is displayed to news readers when they connect to
the Traffic Server, if posting is not allowed.
NNTP option: Posting
Allows users to post NNTP articles to parent NNTP servers.
NNTP option: Access Control
Turns access control on or off. You can refine access control by
configuring the
nntp_access.config
file in Traffic Server’s
config
directory; see
nntp_access.config‚ on page 176
. If you are
using an authentication server, you must enter its name and port (see
Authentication Server Host‚ on page 134
).
NNTP option: NNTP V2
Authentication Server
Supports NNTP version 2 authentication. Use this option only if you
are certain that all of your client authentication supports version 2.
NNTP option: Run Local
Authentication Server
Runs an authentication program on this Traffic Server node. You can
configure which clients must be authenticated in the
nntp_access.config
file. See page 176.
