Restricting the Number of Requests

You can restrict the number of users accessing a service by updating the tomcat.conf file.

Open Identity Server’s tomcat.conf and add the following parameter:

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dcom.novell.oauth.threshold.maxrequestsallowed=<number of requests>"

For example, JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dcom.novell.oauth.threshold.maxrequestsallowed=10". It will not allow more than 10 requests per second.
