Virtual Hosting
Use the virtual hosting feature to maintain more than one server on one machine. You can use virtual hosting to run multiple web services, each with a different host name and URL.
- Standard WebSEAL junctions
WebSEAL junctions create a scalable website. When demands on a website grow, you can add more servers to expand the capabilities of the site. - Challenges of URL filtering
As an administrator, you must understand the challenges when URL filtering is used so that you can configure WebSEAL to parse HTML content correctly. - Virtual hosting
Virtual hosting is a web server that appears as more than one host on the Internet; the apparent host names distinguishes one host from another one. Using virtual hosting you can run multiple web services, each with a different host name and URL, that appear to be separate sites. - Virtual host junction solution
WebSEAL supports virtual hosting. Through virtual host junctions, it can eliminate the limitations of URL filtering. - Stanzas and stanza entries ignored by virtual host junctions
Virtual host junctions do not parse or filter URLs in HTML response pages from servers with junctions. - Virtual hosts represented in the object space
Standard WebSEAL junctions are represented in the protected object space as a mount point within the document space of WebSEAL. - Configuration of a virtual host junction
Depending on the requirements of your environment, you can configure a remote or a local type virtual host junction. - Scenario 1: Remote virtual host junctions
Understand the required configuration steps to set up junction support for two remote virtual hosts that are on a single server is implemented. - Definition of interfaces for virtual host junctions
You can configure WebSEAL to listen on multiple interfaces. You must understand the multiple interface capability because that feature is important in certificate support (SSL) for multiple virtual host junctions. - Scenario 2: Virtual host junctions with interfaces
Learn how to set up virtual host junctions on separate WebSEAL interfaces and two junctions that are configured to share a common protected object space. - E-community single signon with virtual hosts
The E-community single signon feature can be used to do single signon between multiple virtual hosts that are on a single WebSEAL instance. - Cross-domain single sign-on with virtual hosts
Use cross-domain single sign-on feature to do single sign-on between multiple virtual hosts on a single WebSEAL instance. - Dynamic URLs with virtual host junctions
Understand how virtual host junctions are expressed in the configuration file so that you can identify how they are labeled and where they map to. - Using domain session cookies for virtual host single sign-on
You can use domain cookies to support single sign-on and the sharing of a single credential across multiple virtual host junctions in the same WebSEAL instance. - Technical notes for using domain cookies with virtual hosts
When you are using domain cookies with virtual hosts, consider the following points. - Scenario 3: Advanced virtual host configuration
Learn how to set up forms authentication, single signon using e-community, and authenticated access to specific resources. - SSL session IDs not usable by virtual hosts
SSL session IDs are not usable for maintaining login sessions between a browser and different virtual hosts that are on the same WebSEAL instance. - Using pdadmin server task to create virtual host junctions
Learn how to use pdadmin commands so that you can create virtual host junctions. - Server task commands for virtual host junctions
Learn about the available virtual junction commands so that you do actions such as add, create, and delete virtual host junctions. - Creation of a virtual host junction
The virtualhost create command creates a new virtual host junction. - Addition of a server to a virtual host junction
The virtualhost add command adds another server to a virtual host junction.
