Specifying a Virtual Host

A virtual host is an additional hostname that points to the same machine IP and a host name. For example, if a host name a.b.c points to the host IP address 192.155.205.133, you can add another host name c.d.e which points to the same IP address.

To Specify a Virtual Host

1. Login as root and edit the platform.conffile of the required Gateway instance:

   /etc/opt/SUNWportal/platform.conf.gateway-profile-name

2. Add the following entries:

   gateway.virtualhost=fully-qualified-gateway-host gateway-ip-address fully- qualified-reverse-proxyhost

   gateway.enable.customurl=true (This value is set to false by default.)

3. Restart the Gateway:

   ./psadmin start-sra-instance –u amadmin – f <password file> –N <profile name>– t <gateway>

   If these values are not specified, the Gateway defaults to normal behavior.
