3 On the
Offloading
tab, select the
Enable Load Balancing
check box for load balancing among offloaded
application servers.
4 Select the
Enable URL Based Aliasing
check box. As a result, some fields become hidden and the
Enable
URL Rewriting for self-referenced URLs
check box is automatically selected.
5 Select the group you wish to add a portal for from the
URL Based Aliasing Group
drop down list.
6 If not using a
URL Based Aliasing Group
, select one of the following from the
Scheme
drop-down list:
• Web (HTTP)
– access the Web application using HTTP (default scheme)
• Secure Web (HTTPS)
– access the Web application using HTTPS
• Auto (HTTP/HTTPS)
– allows the user to determine the actual scheme used to talk to the
backend server when accessing an offloading portal. Access is still under the control of the access
policy.
When using the Auto scheme, users can type
http://www.example.virtual.host.com
or
https://www.example.virtual.host.com
in browser’s address bar to test this feature. Even
scheme set to Auto, it’s still under the control of the access policy.
7 Enter the host name or private IP address of the backend host into the
Application Server Host
field.
8 Optionally enter the IPv6 address of the backend host into the
Application Server IPv6 Address
field.
9 In the
Port Number (optional)
field, optionally enter a custom port number to use for accessing the
application.
10 In the
Homepage URI (optional)
field, optionally enter a URI to a specific resource on the Web server to
which the user will be forwarded the first time the user tries to access the Application Offloading Portal.
This is a string in the form of:
/exch/test.cgi?key1=value1&key2=value2
CAUTION:
It is the Administrator’s responsibility to configure the correct scheme used to talk to the
backend server. Auto (HTTP/HTTPS) Scheme can operate only if HTTP access is enabled for the
Virtual Host (under the Virtual Host tab) and authentication is disabled (under the Offloading tab),
which may be insecure. Therefore, you will be prompted to click OK to enable HTTP for Virtual Host.
