This strategy is basically a type of load balancing using the Webgate Max Number of Connections configuration value instead of using an actual physical load balancer appliance; take the following diagram as an example. Scott Thursday, May 16, If the wait for the response is longer than the AAA Timeout Threshold, it will abandon the connection for that request, toss it back in the pool, and open a new connection to try again. That said some considerations are if ThreadsPerChild is high they will need plenty of connections to satisfy the demand on a busy web server, so increasing the Max Connections can help. The ThreadsPerChild is a directive that works with worker mode, and that simply says how many threads will be started for each httpd child process. It's a great post and fills in all sorts of details about the cookies used, how they're named and how all of the parts fit together. So we have found that a 5 — 10 seconds value seems to be a fair and balanced approach.

This is a very important concept to understand because as you increase the ThreadsPerChild and don't increase the number of OAP connections the threads can be starved under heavy http traffic, which ultimately starts creating congestion.

As I already mentioned in the introduction I will break out the Webgate tuning into three areas to help make it a little easier to digest. This directive is important to administrators who want to limit the resources the web server will use because the more httpd children processes that are spawned the more CPU, memory, file descriptors, etc.

One reason to do this would be that OAM 1 is a much larger server, more memory, etc. If the wait for the response is longer than the AAA Timeout Threshold, it will abandon the connection for that request, toss it back in the pool, and open a new connection to try again. A description of this parameter can be found in the latest at the time of this article in the official Oracle online document https: The AAA Timeout Threshold parameter setting determines how long the Webgate will wait on a connection response before it gives up and attempts to request a new connection.

In worker mode if that parameter is not used the default limit is 16, but I have seen it grow to even more so you want to monitor this process.

webgats Hopefully you are in the later group. So for example if the Webgate Max Connection is set to 8 then one httpd child process will immediately get 8 OAP connections, and if 4 children httpd processes are spawned then each of the 4 httpd children processes will get 8 OAP connections.

For example if you set the AAA Timeout Threshold to 5, the Webgate will open its connection, send its request, and expect to get a response back in say 5 seconds.

In practice, most clients like to see all their hardware provide some value, which means keep them all working wrbgate get their money worth. Quick Overview Knowledge in this article is based on extensive experience in the field, discussions with Oracle Webgate developers, and of course invaluable peers.

So I wanted to add some of my experience with recommendations. However, I highly advise that you spend time reading the entire article before making any major tuning changes.

So a big note om, this setting only works if there are at least one or more secondary OAM servers defined in the Webgate profile. So in our example configuration ThreadsPerChild is 25, so for each httpd child process that is started, they each will get 25 threads.

ServerLimit The maximum limit wsbgate httpd child processes the server will allow. So the big question is what is the best setting? This is the point where the user sees a login page.

MaxClients The Maximum number of connections that will be processed simultaneously. Let's focus on OHS which wehgate basically Apache. OK, so the user enters the username and password and hits the Login button. So it makes sense if Max Connections is changed to 24 then the number of connections each httpd child process gets is Knowledge in this article is based on extensive experience in the field, discussions with Oracle Webgate developers, webvate of course invaluable peers.

Be sure to verify what mode you are running in as this makes a big impact on how you tune the Webgate.

I'm sure you've seen it before, but that webgaate page looks like this:. That said some considerations are if ThreadsPerChild is high they will need plenty of connections to satisfy the demand on a busy web server, so increasing the Max Connections can help.

Because the OAMAuthnCookie is a "per host" cookie and the only communication channel in the redirects is the obrar.

Good luck and be sure to load test your configurations before going live. If you can grasp the concepts around these few important key parameters your success in getting better performance and stability out of the Webgates and Access Servers will greatly increase. Though you get the idea and that means if you want to increase MaxClients to say you will have to adjust the formula.

I also used the example if Max Connections is set to webgaate, then each httpd child process will get 8 OAP connections. You will notice there will be a parent PID which is typically the first row or the lowest PID column value of the httpd processes. It's a great post and fills in webgwte sorts of details about the cookies used, how they're named and how all of the parts fit together.

For example if ServerLimit is set to 8, then you are limiting the total number of httpd child process created.
