Use this page to view and configure an HTTP transport. The name of the page might be that of an SSL setting such as DefaultSSLSettings. This page is not available if you do not have an HTTP transport defined for your system.
On a distributed platform,
if, when migrating from Version 5.x, you indicate that you want to continue
using an HTTP transport to handle your HTTP requests, your Version 5 transports
are migrated for you. If you are not migrating from WebSphere Application
Server Version 5.x, you must set up an HTTP transport channel to handle your
HTTP requests.
On the z/OS platform, the HTTP transport
will continue to be used as the default transport for HTTP requests. The WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS ISPF Customization Dialog will continue to be
used to configure a default HTTP transport and, at most, one additional transport
for HTTPS. If you are a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 5.x
user who has migrated to Version 6, note that the Version 5.x HTTP (and, optionally
HTTPS) transport definitions will remain unchanged in Version 6. You can use
the HTTP Transport panel of the administrative console to configure these
transports. In Version 6, you can define additional HTTP listeners as HTTP
transport channels.
The use of IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) and WS-AT (Web Services Atomic Transactions) are not supported on HTTP transports; they are only supported on HTTP transport channel chains.
To view the HTTP Transport panel on the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Web Container Settings > Web Container > HTTP Transports > host_name.
Specifies the host IP address to bind for transport.
If the application server is on a local machine, the host name might be localhost.
Data type | String |
Specifies the port to bind for transport. Specify a port number between 1 and 65535. The port number must be unique for each application server on a given machine.
Data type | Integer |
Range | 1 to 65535 |

Data type | Boolean |
Default | false |
Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings type for connections between the WebSphere Application Server plug-in and application server. The options include one or more SSL settings defined in the Security Center; for example, DefaultSSLSettings, ORBSSLSettings, or LDAPSSLSettings.
