Causes

AM warns you when an unknown custom server property is added; however, the property is successfully added.

Solution

To prevent this warning being displayed, you can add the property to the validserverconfig.properties file (located in the /path/to/tomcat/webapps/am/WEB-INF/classes/ directory). You should add your custom server property to the end of this file. For example, if your property is called my.custom.server.property, you would add:

You can then add the custom server property using either the AM admin UI or ssoadm:

• AM admin UI: navigate to: Deployment > Servers > [Server Name] > Advanced and add the required property and value. To add the property as a server default, navigate to: Configure > Server Defaults > Advanced instead. Once you have entered the property and value, click + to add followed by Save Changes.
• ssoadm: enter the following command: $ ./ssoadm update-server-cfg -s [serverName] -u [adminID] -f [passwordfile] -a [property=value]replacing [serverName], [adminID], [passwordfile] and [property=value] with appropriate values, where [serverName] is either the name of the server or default.
