Liferay Portal configuration best practices

In this section, we will learn the various Liferay Portal configuration settings for achieving best performance. These configuration settings are categorized into multiple sections. Let's learn these configuration settings in detail.

Servlet filter configuration

Liferay Portal ships with a bunch of features which are implemented using servlet filters. An example of such feature includes NTLM SSO integration, CAS SSO integration, SharePoint integration, and so on. Irrespective of whether we are using such features, all requests pass through a chain of filters depending upon the filter configuration. So, a fraction of CPU and memory will be consumed by some of the unnecessary filters for every request. Liferay Portal provides a way to disable these features. In this section, we will learn about these filters in detail. We will also learn how to disable them to improve performance.
