Configuring Reverse Proxy Using CLI

Perform the following steps to configure reverse proxy in CLI mode. You will create a configuration config1 and an instance rp as reverse proxy.

1. Start the Administration Server:

   $ <install-dir>/admin-server/bin/startserv

2. Invoke the CLI shell:

   <install-dir>/admin-server/bin/wadm -user <username>

   You can see the wadm shell

3. Create config1:

   wadm>create-config --http-port=8080 --server-name=config1 --server-user=root config1

4. Create an instance for the config1 configuration:

   wadm>create-instance --config=config1 <host-name>

5. Add the web application on the created configuration:

   wadm>add-webapp --config=config1 -vs=config1 --uri/test <warfile>

6. Deploy the web application.

   wadm>deploy-config --user=admin --password-file=admin.pwd --host=serverhost --port=8989 config1

7. Create a rp configuration:

   wadm>create-config --http-port=8081 --server-name=rp --server-user=root rp

8. Enable the rp configuration to reverse proxy using the following command:

   wadm> create-reverse-proxy --user=admin --password-file=admin.pwd --host=serverhost --config=rp --vs=rp --uri-prefix=// --server=http://rick.india.sun.com:8080

   To redirect to a secure site, follow the same step and provide the https address for the --server option.

   See CLI Reference, create-reverse-proxy(1).

9. Create an instance for the rp configuration.

   wadm>create-instance --config=rp <host-name>

10. Start the instances:

    wadm>start-instance --config=config1 <host-name>

    wadm>start-instance --config=rp <hostname>

    The web application deployed in config1 can be viewed through rp instance.

    http://<rp instance hostname>:8081/test
