# Server Configuration via Environment Variables

* `WA_CORS_ORIGINS` defines what sources are allowed to make requests. The's no default value. Please bear in mind that if you don't set this value, the CORS headers will be switched off and no such headers will be added within the Web SDK container. 
* `WA_CORS_METHODS`*(optional)* – HTTP methods allowed to use. If the variable is not set, it gets the default value, which is `'GET, POST, OPTIONS'`. If the variable is not used, any method is accepted.
* `WA_CORS_HEADERS`*(optional)* – HTTP headers allowed to use. If the variable is not set, it gets the default value which is `'DNT, X-CustomHeader, Keep-Alive, User-Agent, X-Requested-With, If-Modified-Since, Cache-Control, Content-Type, traceparent, tracestate, esid, shield-id, Correlation-ID'`. If the variable is not used, any header is accepted.

An example of using environment variables for server configuration: 

```bash
docker run -d -p 80:80 \
-e WA_CORS_ORIGINS='*' \
-e WA_CORS_METHODS='GET, POST, OPTIONS' \
-e WA_CORS_HEADERS=DNT, X-CustomHeader, Keep-Alive, User-Agent, X-Requested-With, If-Modified-Since, Cache-Control, Content-Type, traceparent, tracestate, esid, shield-id, Correlation-ID \

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/administrator-guide/web-adapter/server-configuration-via-environment-variables.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
