Change SV Server security settings

This section explains how to change server security settings after installing the Service Virtualization Server.

Server security settings overview

If you choose to change security settings after installing the Service Virtualization Server, you must manually edit the HP.SV.StandaloneServer.exe.config configuration file. The file is located in the <Service Virtualization Server installation directory>\Server\bin subdirectory.

By default, the Server installation path is C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\Service Virtualization Server. In the system.serviceModel configuration section, you must edit the settings for the exposed REST management service.

Disable authentication for REST management service configuration

To disable authentication, set the following:

  1. Under the restManagementServiceConfiguration element, set the aclEnabled attribute to false.

  2. Make sure that the url attribute contains the HTTP address. We recommended using port with the default value, 6080.

  3. After reconfiguration, restart the Service Virtualization Server.

  4. To enable the new configuration, you must redirect all of your projects to the updated URL. For details, see the Change Server Dialog Box.

    Copy code 
    <configuration>
      ...
      <restManagementServiceConfiguration 
      certificatePath="C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\Service Virtualization Server\ConfigurationTools\certificates\server-cert.p12" 
      certificatePassword="changeit"
      url="http://+:6080/management" aclEnabled="false" /> 
       ...
    </configuration>
