You select this view by choosing Controller (System) Setup > Miscellaneous > Web Service from the main menu.
Property Value Description
Status read-only Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling.

{ok} indicates that the entity is licensed and polling successfully.

{down} indicates that the last poll was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property.

{disabled} indicates that the Enable property is set to false.

{fault} indicates another problem.

Depending on conditions, multiple status flags may be set including {fault} and {disabled}, combined with {down}, {alarm}, {stale}, and {unackedAlarm}.

Fault Cause read-only Reports the reason why a network, component, or extension is in fault. Fault Cause is blank unless a fault exists.
Public Service Port    
Http Port number (defaults to 80 Defines the port that the HTTP service listens on.
Http enabled true or false Turns the processing of HTTP requests on (true) and off (false).
Https only true (default) or false true redirects any attempt to connect using a connection that is not secure (Http alone) to Https. false, does not redirect attempts to connect using Http alone.
Https Cert text Sets the certificates that the user wants to use. By default the certificate is set to tridium.
X Frame Options drop-down list

Prevents Cross-Frame Scripting (XFS) attacks. You choose whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame> or <iframe>, thus possibly allowing your content to be embedded into other sites.

Deny prevents any attempt to load the page in a frame. This option may negatively impact the display of information.

Sameorigin (default) loads the page in a frame as long as the site including it in a frame is the same as the one serving the page (same server).

If a page specifies Sameorigin, browsers will prevent framing only if the top-level origin FQDN (fully-qualified-domain-name) does not exactly match FQDN of the subframe page that demanded the Sameorigin restriction. This is considered a safe practice.

Any allows XFS and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This is the least safe choice.

Show Stack Trace true or false true shows exception stack traces in error responses when available. false disables exception stack traces in error responses.
Applet Module Caching Type drop-down list; defaults to Host Determines how a client using the applet caches modules. Host results in a folder and the downloading of installation modules to the module folder. This results in the creation of multiple folders of downloaded modules, that negatively affect platform memory usage. User results in one cache per host visited, (user)- one shared cache per user. This option results in the creation of a .sharedModuleCache folder. The system then downloads to a sub-folder at this location. This option minimizes the memory required when running in a controller.
Web Start Enabled true or false true, permits users to use the Java Web Start application, enabling a link on the login page for the user to download a jnlp file used to launch the application. false disables this feature.
Create Start Menu Shortcut true or false Enables (true) and disables (false) the creation of a shortcut in the user's Start Menu for opening the Web Start jnlp file. The system creates the shortcut when the user launches Web Start after setting this property to true.
Create Desktop Shortcut true or false Enables (true) and disables (false) the creation of a Web Start application shortcut on the desktop. The system creates the shortcut when the user launches Web Start after setting this property to true.
