Setting the Front End URL

Edit online

About this task

All users and all webMethods applications that communicate with the My webMethods Server cluster must use the Front End URL established for the cluster. By default, this value is the URL of the first node of the cluster. The URL can point to a load balancer or external web server. A cluster can have only one Front End URL.

To change the Front End URL for a cluster

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the correct page by doing one of the following:
    • In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > My webMethods > Cluster Settings > Advanced or Clustered Configuration.
    • As system administrator: Administration Dashboard > Configuration > Cluster Administration > Advanced or Clustered Configuration.
  2. In the MwS Front End URL field, type a fully qualified URL:
    • http://host_name:port_number

      OR

    • https://host_name:port_number if you want to access the cluster using only a secure connection,

      where port_number must have the same value as the MWS Front End Secure Port field.

  3. To access secure My webMethods Server content, in the MWS Front End Secure Port field, type an HTTPS port number.

    The default value is -1, which means that no secure Front End URL is configured for the cluster.

  4. Click Submit.
  5. Restart the My webMethods Server cluster.
