Added configurables that are good for HAS deployments, and deemed
harmless for non-HAS deployments, auth.sso.allow.passwd and auth.sso.nonldap. Removed explicit setting of filesys.checklinks, now deferring to p4d default. Set reasonable defaults for net.parallel.max, net.parallel.threads, net.parallel.sync.svrthreads. Changed monitor from 1->2. Removed ref to discontinued KB link. Fixed shellcheck compliance issues with *.sh script, and added summary of errors and warnings. #review @andy_boutte @robert_cowham @mark_zinthefer |
||
| #43 | 28522 | tom_tyler | Changed default for server=4 to server=3. | ||
| #42 | 28200 | tom_tyler | Fixed bug where auth.id was set incorrectly on Windows. | ||
| #41 | 27757 | tom_tyler | On Windows, avoid using 'p4 admin restart', and instead use svcinst.exe to manage the service. | ||
| #40 | 27722 | tom_tyler |
Refinements to @27712: * Resolved one out-of-date file (verify_sdp.sh). * Added missing adoc file for which HTML file had a change (WorkflowEnforcementTriggers.adoc). * Updated revdate/revnumber in *.adoc files. * Additional content updates in Server/Unix/p4/common/etc/cron.d/ReadMe.md. * Bumped version numbers on scripts with Version= def'n. * Generated HTML, PDF, and doc/gen files: - Most HTML and all PDF are generated using Makefiles that call an AsciiDoc utility. - HTML for Perl scripts is generated with pod2html. - doc/gen/*.man.txt files are generated with .../tools/gen_script_man_pages.sh. #review-27712 |

Updated stale core doc link with KB article re: rpl.* params.
Non-functional change. #review @d_benedict |
||
| #38 | 27511 | tom_tyler |
Removed submit.allowbgtransfer as a default setting. It requires
additional configuration when set. #review @robert_cowham |
||
| #37 | 26920 | tom_tyler | Added setting for server.extensions.dir. | ||
| #36 | 26688 | tom_tyler |
Removed 'Operating System' value from rejectList, per advice of Engineering and Support. |
||
| #35 | 26158 | tom_tyler |
Enable 'p4 submit -b' by setting submit.allowbgtransfer=1 for
P4D 2019.1+. |
||
| #34 | 25802 | tom_tyler | Comment clarity improvements. No functional change. | ||
| #33 | 25004 | tom_tyler |
Committing Rusy's shelved change after merging with other changes. #review-28411 |
||
| #32 | 24875 | tom_tyler |
Added setting of dm.info.hide=1, to hide P4ROOT and other
sensitivie info from output of 'p4 info' from a non-authenticated user. Removed setting of dm.user.resetpassword, which was already commented out in the Unix version. This is not really a general best practice to have set, as most accounts use some form of LDAP integration. And even when not, having this set imposes a certaion workflow on Perforce-managed passwords that is often better handled in other ways. |
||
| #31 | 24587 | tom_tyler |
Added net.autotune=1 setting and related comments. Corrected misinformation in comments related to net.tcpsize configurable, and tweaked logic slightly. Added more info in README and changed format to Markdown (renaming from .txt to .md). Enhanced gen_default_broker_cfg.sh to detect whether net.autotune is enabled, and if so, add net.autotune to the broker configuration. #review-24207 @nick_poole |
||
| #30 | 24222 | tom_tyler |
Enhanced rejectList value for P4EXP to also reject versions of P4EXP that impersonate the version string from Windows Explorer. The 'Operating System' also blocks the versions that impersonate. |
||
| #29 | 24145 | tom_tyler |
Added comment for why filesys.P4LOG.main and filesys.TEMP.min aren't set.
Comment tweak only, no functional change. |
||
| #28 | 23679 | tom_tyler |
Added comment indicating that these scripts serve as a guide defining best practices configurables for a production environment. Also added a handy URL to bookmark documenting many configurables: https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/Content/CmdRef/configurables.configurables.html No functional change. |
||
| #27 | 23442 | tom_tyler |
Fixed issue with super user not being logged in after the restart
that occurs after setting auth.id. |
||
| #26 | 23316 | tom_tyler |
Added filetype.bypasslock=1 configurable, recommended for Swarm.
This is needed to allow reviews of exclusively locked files. It allows Swarm to unshelve such files for review, by doing: p4 unshelve --bypass-exclusive-lock -s <shelved_changelist> |
||
| #25 | 23001 | tom_tyler | Added comment re: net.tcpsize to match lastest change to configure_new_servers.sh. | ||
| #24 | 22977 | tom_tyler |
For P4D 2016.2/1468155+ servers, added configurable setting.
p4 configure set db.monitor.shared=4096 Also added notes describing why we set it and other how it works. |
||
| #23 | 22520 | tom_tyler |
Updated configure_new_server.* scripts, which reflect SDP best
practices for enterprise environments. Taking out the setting to disable autologinpromt, upon discovery that it has a safety feature of going interactive only in an interactive terminal shell. It will still wreak havoc with non-interactive commands that do things like 'ssh' with '-t' (to simulate a interactive terminal shell, as is sometimes necessary in automation). But as that is somewhat obscure, the most widely applicable best practice is to use the default p4d behavior, i.e. with autologinprompt enabled. #review @sven_erik_knop @nick_poole |
||
| #22 | 22031 | tom_tyler |
Bumped up dm.user.loginattempts from 3 to 7, to be more friendly to
humans who mistype passwords. |
||
| #21 | 21883 | tom_tyler | Added new configurable setting: 'filesys.bufsize=1M'. | ||
| #20 | 21630 | tom_tyler |
Configurables for best results with Swarm in particular, but
a generally better overall experience. p4 configure set dm.shelve.promote=1 p4 configure set dm.keys.hide=2 Note that setting dm.shelve.promote=1 will slow down shelving operations on an edge server, but will make the shelves globally available. On balance, dm.shelve.promote=1 is recommended, though admins should be aware of the trade off (a simpler global view and cross-site code reviews, at some cost for performance of shelving at edge sites). |
||
| #19 | 21454 | tom_tyler |
For p4d 2016.1 Patch 5+ servers, enable a server with an expired temp license to
start, albeit with limited functionality, so that license expiry doesn't make it impossible to perform license management via the front-door. This configurable allows the server to be started regardless of a bad license, though users will still be blocked by license invalid messages. Perpetual commercial licenses never expire; this configurable will not affect those. Also added +x file type modifier to the *.bat file. |
||
| #18 | 21369 | tom_tyler |
Configured to re-login after setting auth.id, and restart p4d at the
end of the script. |
||
| #17 | 21232 | tom_tyler |
Define auth.id for P4D 2016.1+ servers to "p4_<instance>".
The value doesn't really affect behavior for auth.id, so long as it's defined. |
||
| #16 | 21173 | tom_tyler | Taking advantage of new 2016.2 configurables. | ||
| #15 | 20332 | tom_tyler |
A few configurable tweaks:
* Setting server=4 logging as the default. * Setting net.backlog=2048, per Support. * Setting net.tcpsize=0 to engage 'auto-self-tuning' magic. |
||
| #14 | 19837 | tom_tyler |
Added defense against known-misbehaving client versions
using rejectList configurable, availabe starting with P4D 2015.1 Patch 5. See: http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/15014. |
||
| #13 | 19661 | tom_tyler |
Change to best-practice configurables.
For p4d 2016.1 Patch 2+ (2016.1.1395783+), disable auto prompting for a password, as this can cause 'p4' commands to go interactive that wouldn't normally, wreaking havoc with automation. Fix with: p4 configure set auth.autologinprompt=0. |
||
| #12 | 19302 | tom_tyler |
Adjusted setting of db.reorg.disable to go with the block comments
made previously to receive a setting for db.reorg.disable. In those comments, setting of the value had been commented out, but now are not. This impact has no functional change other than adding the safety feature of avoiding setting db.reorg.disable for older versions of p4d that don't support it. support it. |
||
| #11 | 19112 | russell_jackson |
Turn off database reorg per best practice recommendation from Anton and Michael S. Stop running weekly_backup.sh automatically since a compact database actually causes a performance hit. Added note to occasionally run weekly_backup.sh to recapture free space. |
||
| #10 | 18937 | tom_tyler |
Removed configurables for 'errors' and 'events' structured logs.
Added 'maxmb' setting of 200MB for the structured audit log. Enhanced Windows version work like Unix version: * Added a check for the 'instance' paramter. * Loads SDP environment from p4env.bat (equiv of p4_vars). * Uses SDP environment to set various things. * Now creates 'spec' and 'unload' depots. Changed both Unix and Windows versions to use KEEPLOGS setting defiend in standard SDP enviornment file to apply to 'retain' setting of structured server logs. Removed obsolete comment relationg to the SetDepotSpecMapField trigger, which was obsoleted with server.depot.root in 2014.1. Changed mechanism for creating 'spec' and 'unload' depots to one that works the same for Windows and Linux. Removed defaultChangeType setting. The impact on Swarm and performance may not be worth the security benefit for. It is still a good practice for some environments, but I'm not sure it's a clear best practice to set it. |
||
| #9 | 16805 | russell_jackson |
#review-16795 Added the audit log as a default structured log and set the rotation to keep 31 days. |
