New Virtual Server

Use the New Virtual Server page to create a virtual server.

The New Virtual Server page contains the following options.

ID

Internally visible virtual server identifier. It is not exposed to HTTP clients. The host names that are exposed to HTTP clients must be specified in the Hosts field.

Hosts

The host name or names for the machine on which the server is running. Use either actual or virtual host names that are registered with the DNS server for your network (and, on a UNIX system, in your /etc/hosts file).

State

The desired state for the virtual server. The value may be any of the following:

On

The virtual server is active. This value is the default.

Off

The virtual server is inactive. Attempts to access the server will return the error code 404 (resource not available).

Disabled

The virtual server is disabled. Attempts to access the server will return the error code 403 (refused to fulfill the request).

HTTP Listeners

This field is automatically populated when an HTTP listener is created and associated with this server.

Default Web Module

The deployed web module (if any) that is to respond to all requests that cannot be mapped to other web modules deployed to the virtual server. If a Default Web Module is not specified, the web module that has an empty context root is used. If there is no web module with an empty context root, a system default web module is created and used.

Log File

The path name of the file where logging messages from this virtual server will appear. By default, logging messages will appear in domain-dir/logs/server.log..

Docroot

The absolute path to the root document directory for the server. The default value isdomain-dir/docroot.

SSO

Single sign-on (SSO) allows multiple applications that require the same user sign-on information to share this information, rather than have the user sign on separately for each application. If this feature is disabled, users must authenticate separately to every application on the virtual server. This option is disabled by default.

Access Logging

Specify if access logging is inherited from the HTTP Service, enabled, or disabled. By default, it is inherited from the HTTP Service.

Directory

The absolute directory path to the server access logs. The default value is domain-dir/logs/access.

Buffer Size

The size of the access log buffer. A value less than or equal to zero disables buffering. If the field is left blank, the access log buffer size will be inherited from the HTTP Service.

Write Interval

The number of seconds before the access log is updated. A value less than or equal to zero disables buffering. If the field is left blank, the write interval will be inherited from the HTTP Service.
