This property determines whether to accept the server certificate or not when Host names when Hostnames in the Sever Server Certificate matched with the one in the Request URL.
- Enable this to accept the certificate even if hostname in the Server Certificate does not match with the hostname in the Request URL.
- If disabled, when hostname in the certificate does not match with the hostname in the request URL, it generates an exception.
Cleanup resources after each document
- Enable this property if the connection created for the request should be discarded after executing the request, without storing it in the cache.
Disable it to store the connection in a cache for further use without creating a new connection every time for the same URL. If disabled, 'Connection Cache Threshold' will be visible.
Note In the disabled state (check box checkbox cleared), there will be an attribute 'CacheConnection' added to the element 'URL' in the input schema. If this 'CacheConnection' value is 'false' in input XML, the connection will not be stored in the cache.

Pre Processing XSL Configuration
Pre Processing XSL configuration can be used to transform request message before processing it. Click the ellipses button against the property to configure the properties.
Refer to the Pre/Post Processing XSL Configuration section under the Common Configurations page for details regarding Pre Processing XSL configuration and Post Processing XSL configuration (below).
Post Processing XSL Configuration
Post Processing XSL configuration can be used to transform response message before sending it to the output port.

- For providing header properties like Content-Type or Content-Length, set the required properties in the input message with a prefix http_. Example http_Content-Type.
- For providing parameters, set the required properties in the input message as properties with a prefix param_. Example param_myproperty.
- To Post data, we need to provide the header property Content-Type by setting property http_Content-Type to appropriate value on the input message. For example, if we need to post simple text content then set the property http_Content-Type to text/plain.
- When connecting to secured sites, the component accesses truststore from different locations in different launch modes -
- Separate Process - %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\cacerts
- In-memory - %FIORANO_HOME%\esb\server\profiles\certs\jssecacerts
'jssecacerts' in %FIORANO_HOME% does not have trusted certificates required by most of the secured sites. Hence, to connect to secured sites, when component is launched in-memory, either the trusted certificates should be added to 'jssecacerts' or the property 'javax.net.ssl.trustStore' (in %FIORANO_HOME%\esb\server\bin\server.conf; if FPS is launched using server.bat/server.sh and %FIORANO_HOME%\esb\fps\bin\fps.conf, if FPS is launched using fps.bat/fps.sh) should be set to %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\cacerts.
