Adding Virtual Hosts

About Adding Virtual Hosts

When the CES Application is deployed, only one CES Server is created. After the CES Admin Desktop is installed, you must add the HTTP port of the CES server to the list of default hosts.  This allows you to access the CES Administration Desktop URL.

How To Add a Virtual Host

This task explains how to add a virtual host:
  1. Log on to the WAS console using the default URL, for example, <http://localhost:9160/admin>. The default URL depends on the port used when the WAS profile was created by the WAS Administrator, so contact your WAS Administrator for the correct URL.

  2. Enter the User ID, and then click Log in. The Integrated Solutions Console page appears. In the navigation pad, expand Environment.

     

  3. Under Environment, click Virtual Hosts. The Virtual Hosts page appears.
     

  4. On the Virtual Hosts page, click default host. The Virtual Hosts > default host page appears.

  5. On the Virtual Hosts > default host page, click Host Aliases . The Virtual Hosts > default host > Host Aliases page appears.

  6. On the Virtual Hosts > default host > Host Aliases page, click New. The Virtual Hosts > default host > Host Aliases > New page appears.

  7. Enter the Host Name, if desired, and the CES Server HTTP Port number and click Apply to set the new virtual host. In the Messages section that appears, click Save to save the changes. (To find the HTTP Port number of your CES Server, refer to How to Find Your CES Server HTTP Port Number.)

  8. Back in the Virtual Hosts > default host > Host Aliases page, you can see the new virtual host.

How To Find Your CES Server HTTP Port Number

This task explains how to add a virtual host:
  1. Log on to the WAS console using the default URL, for example, <http://localhost:9160/admin>. The default URL depends on the port used when the WAS profile was created by the WAS Administrator, so contact your WAS Administrator for the correct URL.

  2. Enter the User ID, and then click Log in. The Integrated Solutions Console page appears. In the navigation pad, expand Servers. Under Servers, click Application Servers. The Application Servers page appears with all available server names.

  3. On the Application Servers page, click the CES Application Server link. In this example, the CES Application Server is R18CESServer. The CES Application Server page appears.
     

  4. Under Communications, expand Ports. The port numbers appear.

  5. The port number specified for Port Name WC_defaulthost is the HTTP port of the CES Application Server. This is the number you will use in Step 7 of How to Add a Virtual Host.
