# Not-Enforced Fallback Mode

A flag to specify whether the agent allows traffic to resources specified in the not-enforced lists when AM is not available:

* `true`: While AM is unavailable, the agent reads the cached agent profile configuration until it expires. After the cache expires, reads the local configuration file (`agent.conf`). If not-enforced properties are configured in `agent.conf`, the agent allows access to the not-enforced resources. However, response attributes for not-enforced resources are not available until AM is accessible.

* `false`: When AM is unavailable, the web agent prevents access to all resources, including any not-enforced resources.

Configure the following properties in `agent.conf`, even if the agent profile is in centralized configuration:

* `com.forgerock.agents.config.fallback.mode = true`

* `com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url.attributes.enable = true`

* `com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url.invert = false`

* `com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url[0] = http://agenttest.example.com/index.html`

Default: `false`
