rsrc create

Creates and names a web server single sign-on resource.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use this command.

Syntax

rsrc create resource_name [–desc description]

Description

A web resource is a web server that serves as the back-end of a WebSEAL GSO-enabled junction. The web resource name must be specified with the –T option when the GSO-enabled WebSEAL junction is created.

Options

–desc description

Specifies a description for the resource. Descriptions containing a space must be enclosed in double quotation marks. (Optional)

A valid description is an alphanumeric string that is not case-sensitive. String values are expected to be characters that are part of the local code set. If the description contains a space, ensure that you enclose the description in double quotation marks.

Examples of descriptions are “Engineering Web server – Room 4807” and “Printer in room 345, Bldg 2”.

resource_name

Specifies the name of the resource to be created.

A valid resource name is an alphanumeric string that is not case-sensitive. If the resource is a GSO resource, certain characters are not allowed. See Characters disallowed for GSO names for the list of these characters.

Examples of resource names are engwebs01 and JonesData.

Return codes

0: The command completed successfully.
1: The command failed. When a command fails, the pdadmin command provides a description of the error and an error status code in hexadecimal format (for example, 0x14c012f2). See "Error messages" in the IBM Knowledge Center. This reference provides a list of the Security Access Manager error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.
