Managing ACL Properties

Disabling the following Access Control List (ACL) security checks in the JMX Console results in faster processing and avoids slow server startup:

  • spatial.security.acl.enable If the system administrator is not using permissions on any Named Resources in the Spatial repository, they can set this property to false to disable the ACL check. Since all users have full permissions on all Named Resources, setting this property to false skips the consistency checks between the Spatial repository and the access control database at system startup time. This results in faster processing.
  • spatial.security.acl.check On system startup, Spatial runs a consistency check. This process can be time-consuming depending on the number of Named Resources in the Spatial repository. Administrators can set this property to false to avoid the check and thereby speed up the server startup time.

A Spectrum™ Technology Platform server restart is required after the change.

To disable ACL security checks:

  1. Open a web browser and go to http://server:port/jmx-console

    Where:

    server is the IP address or hostname of your Spectrum™ Technology Platform server.

    port is the HTTP port used by Spectrum™ Technology Platform. The default is 8080.

  2. Log in using the admin account.
  3. Under "Domain: com.pb.spectrum.platform.configuration.properties", click com.pb.spectrum.platform.configuration.properties:manager=spatial.properties.
  4. Change the value of spatial.security.acl.enable and/or spatial.security.acl.check to false.
  5. Click the Set button next to the spatial.security.acl property that you changed.
  6. Restart the server.

Once finished, the ACL security checks are disabled.
