Configuring for Outstanding Posts

To keep the system from being overwhelmed by excessive amounts of content posts, for example, the results from a denial of service attack, Posting Acceptor has implemented limitations on two posting values. The limitations are placed on the total number of outstanding posts and on the maximum post duration, both of which are adjustable in the registry. For more information, see "RegKey," in the "Posting Acceptor Administration" section of this document:

• MaximumOpenTransactions. This value controls maximum outstanding posts. (Default is 200 posts.)
• OpenTransactionsTimeout. This value controls maximum outstanding post duration. (Default is 600 seconds or five minutes.)

To configure for outstanding posts

• In a registry editor, open up the registry key, HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WebPost\Acceptors\CPSHost. Adjust the value limitations to suit your needs.
