Using pdadmin server task to create virtual host junctions

Learn how to use pdadmin commands so that you can create virtual host junctions.

Before you begin

You must log in to a secure domain as a user with administration authorization, such as sec_master before you use pdadmin.

For example:

pdadmin> login
Enter User ID: sec_master
Enter Password: 
pdadmin>

About this task

The pdadmin utility provides an interactive command-line prompt where you can do WebSEAL virtual host junction tasks. Use the pdadmin server task virtualhost command to create WebSEAL virtual host junctions. See the Web command reference topics in the IBM Knowledge Center for complete syntax information for the pdadmin utility. Options for standard WebSEAL junctions are described in Command option summary: standard junctions.

Procedure

To create virtual host junctions, you use the pdadmin server task virtualhost create command (entered as one line):

pdadmin> server task instance_name-webseald-host_name virtualhost create 
options vhost-label

For example, if the configured name of a single WebSEAL instance is web1 installed on a host that is named www.pubs.com, the complete server name is:

web1-webseald-www.pubs.com

Use the pdadmin server list command to display the correct format of the complete server name:

pdadmin> server list
web1-webseald-www.pubs.com
