Editing WebFOCUS Client Custom Settings

You can customize the default global settings for WebFOCUS using the \ibi\webfocus76\client\wfc\etc\site.wfs file. You would use site.wfs to override cgivars.wfs for a specific user or request.

To override the default global settings in the cgivars.wfs file, click Configuration and then Custom Settings. The settings in the site.wfs file appear. Make the necessary changes (after the <VER 1> tag) and then click Save.

The following settings may be added to site.wfs:

Settings

Description

MR_USER_ADMIN

Enables the MRCEXT1 exit. This is not set by default. Note that this exit is available to self service applications only. It is not supported by Managed Reporting.

_HTML_COMMENT_VAR

Displays as an HTML comment, and is generally used for debugging purposes.

IBI_COOKIE_DOMAIN

Value of the domain field of a cookie. This value restricts where the cookie is sent. For example, if you specify a particular domain, cookies are only sent to hosts in that domain. By default, the cookie is only sent to the host from which it was generated.

IBI_COOKIE_PATH

Path(s) on the server to which the cookie will be sent. By default, WebFOCUS sets the path to the root directory ("/").

IBI_COOKIE_SECURE

When enabled, this variable restricts the exchange of cookies to only HTTPS sessions. This variable is not set by default.

SIGNON_CORRECT

HTML page that opens after a successful sign-on.

URL_PROTOCOL

Default URL protocol (http or https). By default, this is automatically set by WebFOCUS DB2 Web Query on the incoming request.

ENCRYPT

If you select the ENCRYPT check box, the site.wfs file will be encrypted. When you access the file again using the console, it will be decrypted for you to view, and the ENCRYPT check box will still be selected. If you edit the site.wfs file outside of the console, its contents will be encrypted. On z/OS, you must decrypt a file using the same implementation of the WebFOCUS Client that was used to encrypt it.

Tip: You can use WebFOCUS Script (WFS) commands with WebFOCUS Client settings in site.wfs (recommended) or cgivars.wfs to further customize processing and control of the WebFOCUS Client. For more information, see WebFOCUS Script Commands.
