System > Global Settings

The Traffic Manager software provides an extensive set of configurable global settings. You can access these by clicking System > Global Settings. They cover aspects of the Traffic Manager that are not related to individual services or traffic, and are divided into the following categories:

Category	Description
System Settings	Define the network and system settings for each Traffic Manager.
EC2 Account Settings	Control how the Traffic Manager interacts with the Amazon EC2 API.
Cache Settings	Control the behavior of the shared caches in each Traffic Manager.
FIPS 140-2 Configuration	Determines whether "FIPS Mode" is enabled. This mode allows the Traffic Manager to process traffic using a FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module.
SSL Configuration	Control the behavior of the SSL support.
SSL Hardware Support	Apply to any additional SSL hardware used by the Traffic Manager.
Logging	Control how the Traffic Manager performs logging for system events and virtual server access.
State Synchronization Settings	Control how cluster members share their state data.
Idle Connection Settings	Control how idle HTTP connections to nodes are managed.
Java Extension Settings	Control how the Java Extension process is initialized and managed.
Login and Security Settings	Control user login behavior (see Login Security and Behavior).
Web Accelerator	Control global properties for Ivanti Web Accelerator.
Enterprise Authentication	Controls the behavior of SAML-based enterprise authentication in your services (see Providing Authentication for your Services).
Telemetry	Controls the optional reporting of anonymous usage data to Ivanti. This data facilitates product improvements and enhances Ivanti’s ability to provide technical support.
Other Settings	Control other miscellaneous Traffic Manager settings.

Clicking on the arrow beside each category unfolds the options for that category. When you have finished making changes, click the Update button. You can use the Restore Defaults button to restore all the global settings to the system defaults.

ATTENTION
Take care when modifying any of these settings. The default values have been chosen to give good performance on a wide range of systems, and to preserve the stability and security of the software. Configuring these settings incorrectly could compromise the stability and security of your system, and may impact performance.
