server task virtualhost show

Displays information about the specified virtual host junction. The virtual host junction must exist, or an error is displayed.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use this command.

Syntax

server task instance_name-webseald-host_name virtualhost show vhost_label

Options

instance_name-webseald-host_name

Specifies the full server name of the installed WebSEAL server instance. You must specify this full server name in the exact format as displayed in the output of the server list command.

The instance_name specifies the configured name of the WebSEAL server instance. The webseald designation indicates that the WebSEAL service performs the command task. The host_name is the name of the physical computer where the WebSEAL server is installed.

For example, the configured name of a single WebSEAL server instance is default. The host computer name where the WebSEAL server is installed is abc.ibm.com. Then, the full WebSEAL server name is default-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

If an additional WebSEAL server instance is configured and named web2, the full WebSEAL server name is web2-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

vhost_label

Specifies the label name of the virtual host junction.

Authorization

Users and groups that require access to this command must be given the l (list) permission in the ACL that governs the /WebSEAL/host_name-instance_name/@vhost_label object. For example, the sec_master administrative user is given this permission by default.

Return codes

0: The command completed successfully. For WebSEAL server task commands, the return code is 0 when the command is sent to the WebSEAL server without errors. However, even after the command was successfully sent, the WebSEAL server might not be able to successfully complete the command. The WebSEAL server returns an error message.
1: The command failed. When a command fails, the pdadmin command provides a description of the error and an error status code in hexadecimal format (for example, 0x14c012f2). See "Error messages" in the IBM Knowledge Center. This reference provides a list of the Security Access Manager error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.

Note: This command is available only when WebSEAL is installed.

Example

The example shows information for the virtual host junction:

With the label support-vhost-https.
Configured on the WebSEAL server abc.ibm.com.
That supports the virtual host support.ibm.com.

The virtual host support.ibm.com is on the junctioned server int3.ibm.com.

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-abc.ibm.com \
virtualhost show support-vhost-https
