Server port

TCP/IP port that JMap Server listens to for requests coming from client applications (direct connections). JMap Server needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Web server port

TCP/IP port that JMap Server embedded web server listens to for HTTP requests. It is used for JMap Admin, for executing various pages (reports, etc.) and for JMapProxy forwarding (proxy connections).

Caching

Memory size

Size of memory cache. Holds previously requested data to minimize database queries. It helps improve JMap Server performances. Cache statistics can be viewed in JMap Server status section.

Disk size

Size of disk cache. Holds previously requested data to minimize database queries. It helps improve JMap Server performances. Cache statistics can be viewed in JMap Server status section. Unlimited size is recommended.

Imaging size

Size of memory cache dedicated to imaging operations. This cache is used by JMap Server when processing image files (raster data sources that read image files). It dramatically helps improve JMap Server performances when working with high volume images.

HTTPS

Redirect

Automatically redirect JMap Admin users to a secure connection (https). This option is only available if there is a security certificate. The security certificate is created during JMap's installation.

HTTP Proxy

Host

Host name or address of HTTP proxy server. This is used if JMap Server is behind a firewall and must go through a HTTP proxy to access systems outside of the local network.

Port

TCP/IP port used to connect to the HTTP proxy server.

Username

Username used to connect to the HTTP proxy server.

Password

Password used to connect to the HTTP proxy server.

SMTP (Mail server)

Host

Host name or address of SMTP server. JMap Server requires an SMTP server to send emails.

Port

TCP/IP port used to connect to SMTP server.

Username

Username used to connect to the SMTP server (if needed).

Password

Password used to connect to the SMTP server (if needed).

Encryption

Select an encryption method if required by the SMTP server.

Test SMTP

Press this button to send an email in order to test the SMTP server's settings.

GeoWebCache

URL (1-4)

Enter one or more URLs to connect to the GeoWebCache server. Only one URL is necessary, but entering several URLs that point to the same server will optimize the use of this type of server.

Configuring settings for GeoWebCache is optional but offers better performance for JMap Web and JMap Mobile applications. Refer to the Using a GeoWebCache Server section for more information.

Username

Name used to connect to the GeoWebCache server.

Password

Password used to connect to the GeoWebCache server.

Loaded parameters

Database drivers

List of loaded database drivers. New drivers can be added by creating new configuration files in directory JMAP_HOME/conf/db on the server.

Custom spatial data sources

Spatial data sources related to specific applications.

Projections

List of loaded projections. New projections can be added by adding entries in file JMAP_HOME/conf/projections.properties on the server.

Element factories

Map element generation modules related to specific applications.

User managers

List of loaded user manager modules. User managers are used to manage users and groups as well as providing the authentication service used in JMap Server.
