Configuring the Public IP Address as an Internal Hostname on Client Machine

This section shows you how to configure the public IP address as an internal hostname on client machine.

Without this step, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application websites can only be accessed using the Public IP Address in a browser.

Prerequisite

A deployment of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

Configuring the Public IP Address

As a convenience, in addition to access using a Public IP address, you can also access JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application websites using the hostname. The steps given below assume that you have not configured a public web entry point for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application tier. In that case you need to manually add the public IP address and internal DNS hostname of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application tier in the hosts file of the client machine.

Alternatively, these steps can be replaced by contacting your site’s network administrator and having the address and hostname setup in DNS.

Access from a UNIX Host

Modify the /etc/hosts file as shown below. For example:

• public IP: 123.456.789.999
• public hostname: demo.company.com
• Using the above example values, the /etc/hosts file must contain this line:

  123.456.789.999 demo demo.company.com

Access from a Microsoft Windows System

Modify the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file as shown below. For example:

• public IP: 123.456.789.999
