Configuring transparent path junctions

Edit online

About this task

To configure a transparent path junction:

Procedure

  1. Use the pdadmin server task command to create the transparent path junction. Create the junction like you would a standard WebSEAL junction, but include the -x option. In the following example (entered as one line), the junction name is /files/docs:pdadmin> server task web1-webseald-www.cruz.com create -t tcp -x-h pubs.ibm.com /files/docs
  2. Ensure that all resources protected by this junction are contained on the back-end server (in this example, pubs.ibm.com) under a subdirectory called /files/docs/.

Results

The junction name (and its associated subdirectory on the back-end server) must be unique among all other protected servers in the WebSEAL environment.
