NAME

 create-http-listener - adds a new HTTP listener socket

SYNOPSIS

 create-http-listener --user admin_user[ --password admin_password ][ --host localhost ] [ --port 4848 ][ --passwordfile filename ][ --secure|-s ]--address address [ --instance instance_name ]--listenerport listener_port --defaultvs virtual_server --servername server_name [ --family family ][ --acceptorthreads acceptor_threads ] [ --blockingenabled blocking_enabled ][ --security enabled security_enabled ] [ --enabled=enabled ]listener_ID

DESCRIPTION

Creates the HTTP listener associated with the named identifier.

OPTIONS

--user

administrative user associated for the instance.

--password

administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.

--host

host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.

--port

administrative port number associated with the administrative host.

--passwordfile

file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).

--secure

if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.

--instance

name of the instance.

--listenerport

port number to create the listen socket on. Legal values are 165535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 11024 requires superuser privileges. Configuring an SSL listen socket to listen on port 443 is recommended.

--defaultvs

ID attribute of the default virtual server for this particular connection group.

--servername

tells the server what to put in the host name section of any URLs it sends to the client. This affects URLs the server automatically generates; it doesn't affect the URLs for directories and files stored in the server. This name should be the alias name if your server uses an alias. If a colon and port number is appended, that port will be used in URLs that the server sends to the client.

--family

socket family type; defaults to inet. Legal values are: inet, inet6, and nca. Use the value inet6 for IPv6 listen sockets. When using the value of inet6, IPv4 addresses are prefixed with ::ffff: in the log file. Specify nca to make use of the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator.

--acceptorthreads

number of acceptor threads for the listen socket. The recommended value is the number of processors in the machine.

--blockingenabled

determines whether the HTTP listener socket and the accepted socket are put into blocking mode. Use of blocking mode may improve benchmark scores.

--securityenabled

determines whether the HTTP listener runs SSL. You can turn SSL2 or SSL3 ON or OFF and set ciphers using an SSL element. The security setting in the init.conf file globally enables or disables SSL by making certificates available to the server instance. Therefore, security in the init.conf file must be ON or security in the server.xml file does not work.

--enabled

determines whether the resource is enabled at runtime or not.

OPERANDS

listener_id

listener ID of the HTTP listener.

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Using create-http-listener

asadmin> create-http-listener --user admin --password adminadmin --host fuyako --port 7070 --address 0.0.0.0 --instance server1 --listenerport 7272 --defaultvs server1 --servername fuyako.red.iplanet.com --family inet6 --acceptorthreads 2 --blockingenabled=true --securityenabled=false --enabled=false sampleListener
Created HTTP listener with id = sampleListener

Where: sampleListener is the HTTP listener created.

EXIT STATUS

0

command executed successfully

1

error in executing the command
