CF server startup sloooooww

Report · Nov 12, 2018

Our staging and production servers installed with Secure+Production profile. Our dev server installed in Development profile.

Our dev server is able to startup within 30seconds. However staging and production stalls excessively. the Starting security step takes over 2 minutes. Any ideas?

Usually this sort of thing would indicate that it is having trouble obtaining random entropy at startup. This tends to happen on virtualized operating systems a lot.

If you were on Linux I would say try using /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random but it looks like you are on Windows. You might do some googling to see if there is a similar solution for Windows.

it's a good thought. looked up the JVM windows equiv of /dev/urandom. apparently it's a URL file resource. i'll make attempts to try to use urandom

java - What is the /dev/urandom equivalent on Windows JVM level - Server Fault

attempt 1: add -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom to JVM Arguments

result: no change

attempt 2: add -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom to JVM Arguments

result: no change

inspected JRE 1.8.0 u191's file \lib\security\java.security shows setting securerandom.source=file:/dev/random

yes i'm on virtualized server.
