WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere XML Document Management Server, Version 7.0

Configuring ports

The HTTP transport ports and virtual hosts must be properly defined for the clusters. You can verify and correct the port configuration using the Integrated Solutions Console.

Before you begin
Before you begin, the following software should be installed:
  • WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, Version 7.0.0.1
In addition, you should have:
  • Completed the environment preparation steps
  • Created the cluster you wish to install the IBM® XDMS EAR files on
About this task

To ensure that the ports are configured correctly for each enabler, complete the following steps:

Note: The enablers you are able to install are: Shared Profile, Shared Policy, Shared Group, Shared List, and Presence Rules (Shared List and Presence Rules are required for use with IBM WebSphere Presence Server).
  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
    1. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.
      Where:
      • host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.
      • port is the secured port used to access the console. The default port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
  2. Verify that the HTTP transport ports are properly defined.
    1. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers.
      Note: If you are using WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.0.x, reach this window by clicking Servers > Application servers.
    2. Click server_name for the cluster member you want to verify.
    3. On the right side of the page, in the Communication section, Expand Ports.
    4. Verify that the correct ports are listed. Two ports must be included in the virtual host definition:
      • WC_defaulthost (typically 9080)
      • SIP_DEFAULTHOST (typically 5060)
      Note: You need to remember the port numbers, because in the next step you will verify that the ports are correct for each virtual host.
  3. Verify that the virtual hosts are properly defined.
    1. In the navigation panel, click Environment > Virtual Hosts.
    2. Click the virtual_host_name that you are using. Typically, this is default_host.
    3. Under Additional Properties, click Host Aliases.
    4. Verify that all ports are correct.
  4. If the information is not correct, make necessary changes.
    1. To change an existing port, click host_name and modify as necessary.
    2. To add a missing port, click New. Supply values for Host Name and Port, and click OK.
    3. Click Apply.
    4. Click Save to save changes to the master configuration.
    5. Click OK.
