AM Browser configuration

SSL

After you install AM Browser service and AM REST service, you need to create your server certificate files and overwrite the following certificate files in the ./ssl folder.

Then, configure the following sections of the am-browser-config.properties file.

AM Browser service

The [node] section contains the settings of the AM Browser service, it should resemble the following.

[node]
server = 0.0.0.0
port = 8080
https_port = 8443
session_max_age = 30
enable_csrf = true

port and https_port are AM Browser service port. session_max_age is AM Browser server session timeout minutes. enable_csrf is a toggle for anti-csrf function.

AM REST service

The [rest] section contains the settings of the AM REST service for AM Browser, it should resemble the following.

[rest]
protocol = http
server = localhost 
port = 10081
base = /AssetManagerWebService/rs
version = /v1

server is AM REST Server address, port is AM REST Service port

You do not need to change base and version.

AM Browser Roles

AM Browser has 3 user roles configured in the am-browser-config.properties file: Admin, Power User and Guest.

[user]
admin = @admin
power = <AM user role1>, <AM user role2>
guest = @anyone

@admin stands for users who have AM administration rights. In this version of AM Browser, AM Browser Admin can only be @admin.

@anyone stands for all AM users including the guest users.

You can assign one or several AM user roles to power or guest, for example, SAM_Manager, Finance_manager.

Slack

AM Browser allows you to send message to the channel of Slack.com.

Configure the URL and channel name in the [slack] section so that the Slack function works. 

[slack]
#url = https://hooks.slack.com/services/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
channel = #betaprogram

[proxy]
host =
port =

UCMDB

AM Browser has 2 features related to UCMDB, reference Features/Adapter chapter.

[ucmdb]
adapter = true
browser_server = ucmdbhost
browser_port = 8080
browser_param = /ucmdb-browser/ucmdb_widget.jsp?server=Default%20Client&locale=en#widget=properties;refocus-selection=

Setting adapter to false will disable UCMDB adapter monitor from AM Browser.

If AM REST Service does not configure the UCMDB connection, Adapter module of AM Browser will not work.

Environment Parameters

There are some system environment parameters used by AM Browser. The priority is: Environment Parameters > am-browser-config.properties > am-browser-config.properties.default
