Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.8 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Add Listen Sockets

  1. Access the Server Manager and click the Preferences tab.

  2. Click the Add Listen Socket link.

    The Add Listen Socket page is displayed.

  3. Specify the internal name for the listen socket.

    You cannot change this name after the listen socket has been created.

  4. Specify the IP address of the listen socket.

    The IP address can be in dotted-pair or IPv6 notation. It can also be 0.0.0.0, any, ANY or INADDR_ANY (all IP addresses).

  5. Specify the port number to create the listen socket on. The values allowed are 1 - 65535.

    On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1 - 1024 requires superuser privileges. Configure an SSL listen socket to listen on port 443.

  6. Specify the server name to be used in the host name section of any URLs the server sends to the client.

    This setting affects URLs that the server automatically generates but does not affect the URLs for directories and files stored in the server. This name should be the alias name if your server uses an alias.

  7. From the drop-down list, specify whether security should be enabled or disabled for the listen socket.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Click Restart Required.

    The Apply Changes page is displayed.

  10. Click the Restart Proxy Server button to apply the changes.
