Basic connection settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection Name | The name of the connection. The name of the connection determines the URL path that is used to access the application server that is connected by the connection. For example, if the connection is called webapp_1 then the URL for the root of the application server is https://client_Cloud_Identity_Service_address/webapp_1/. |
| Description | Connection description. |
| Type | Connection protocol, TCP, or SSL. |
| Virtual Connection | Virtual connections communicate with virtual hosts. HTTP Host headers are used
in client requests to direct those requests to the appropriate location on connected servers. A user can access resources directly with the host name of the connected server (http://protected-server/resource), rather than indirectly with the host name of the WebSEAL server and a potentially modified resource path (http://webseal/connection/resource). Direct access to the resource by using the host name of the connected server does not require URL filtering. |
| Connection Servers | Not used when you create a new connection. The server addresses, paths, and ports to be set up for the connection. Click Add Server to add a server connection. For more information about adding a server, see Adding a connection server. |
