6.6.13: Administering transports
Transports define the characteristics of the connections between the
Web server and the application server, across which requests for applications
are routed. Specifically, they define the
connection between the Web server plug-in and the Web container of
the application server.
Use transport properties to specify:
- How to manage the set of connections; for example, how many concurrent
requests to allow
- Whether to secure the connections with SSL
- Host and IP information for the transport participants
Administering the transport is closely related to administering
the WebSphere plug-ins for Web servers. Indeed, without the plug-in
configuration, the transport configuration is of little use.
