Interactive configuration overview

Interactive configuration of Reverse Proxy is accessed through the pdconfig utility. This utility provides a graphical user interface that prompts the administrator to enter the information needed to configure a Reverse Proxy instance. The configuration utility provides online help messages to help you determine the appropriate values for each requested setting. When all configuration information has been entered, the utility completes the configuration and starts the new Reverse Proxy instance.

The pdconfig utility can be used to configure many different Verify Identity Access components. The pdconfig menu includes an entry for Reverse Proxy. When the Reverse Proxy entry is selected, the information requested by pdconfig matches the information needed by amwebcfg. This means that the planning steps described earlier in this section are equally applicable to pdconfig.

On UNIX™ or Linux™ systems, you can run pdconfig from a shell prompt. Example:

# pdconfig

On Windows™ systems, you can also access the configuration utility through the Windows desktop menus. Example:

Start -> Programs -> IBM Verify Identity Access for Web -> Configuration
