About this task
Optional manual step: Redeploy the IBM® Web Application
Bridge to a virtual host.
Procedure
- If you remove the portal context root, Web Application Bridge is
disabled. Use the following command to deploy Web Application Bridge to
a virtual host:
- AIX®
HP-UX
Linux
Solaris:./ConfigEngine.sh deploy-wab-virtual-host -DVirtualHostName=virtualHostName
-DVirtualHostAlias=virtualHostAlias -DPortalAdminPwd=password
-DPortalAdminId=PortalAdminId -DWasUserid=WasUserid
-DWasPassword=password
- Windows: ConfigEngine.bat deploy-wab-virtual-host
-DVirtualHostName=virtualHostName
-DVirtualHostAlias=virtualHostAlias -DPortalAdminPwd=password
-DPortalAdminId=PortalAdminId -DWasUserid=WasUserid
-DWasPassword=password
- IBM i: ConfigEngine.sh deploy-wab-virtual-host
-DVirtualHostName=virtualHostName
-DVirtualHostAlias=virtualHostAlias -DPortalAdminPwd=password
-DPortalAdminId=PortalAdminId -DWasUserid=WasUserid
-DWasPassword=password
virtualHostName is the name of the virtual host; for
example, wab_host. virtualHostAlias
is the DNS alias name that is used to access the applications on the virtual host; for example,
wab.portal.com. If the virtualHostName and
virtualHostAlias exist, the existing values are used. The
task maps the virtualHostAlias on the same URI scheme
(http or https) and port that the portal is deployed on.
- Complete the following steps to configure single sign-on between portal and the virtual host
alias that was created in the previous step.
- Log in to WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console.
- Go to .
- Enter the domain name. For example, if the portal host is
portal.domain.ibm.com and the virtual host alias is
wab.domain.ibm.com then the domain value is
domain.ibm.com.
- Enter the virtual host alias to the DNS server to make sure that the virtual host alias is
reachable from the your workstation. The virtual host alias must be accessible from all the
workstations from where the portal server is accessed.
