Overview

The "Configuration" tab is used to define the default connection options for the WEBDEV sites found on the server and managed by the administrator.

Details of "Configuration" tab

The "Configuration" tab is used to:

Manage the remote debugging.

Configure the connections

The following options can be used to configure the connections:

Maximum number of connections on the server:
Maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed for all the sites managed by the administrator (a connection = a Web user).
Maximum number of connections on a site:
Maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed for each site managed by the administrator. This number can be modified for each site in the "Sites" tab.
Maximum number of user connections on a site:
Maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed for a given Web user to each site managed by the administrator.
- If this parameter is set to zero, the Web user who tries to connect simultaneously to the same site will be automatically disconnected then reconnected.
- If this parameter is greater than zero, an error message will be automatically displayed after the x simultaneous connections.
- This number can be modified for each site ("Sites" tab).
- The option "A single connection automatically recycled" is used to limit the connection of a user to a single connection. The same connection will be re-used.
