Create a virtual host in WebSphere

  1. In Environment > Virtual Host, create a new virtual host in WebSphere. The virtual host is required to communicate between the web server and the application server for this Environment. We recommend that you use the Environment name in the virtual host name.

    Example

    lsfprod1_host

  2. Add the following ports to the Host Alias definition for the virtual host:

    • The web server listening port for this Environment.

    • HTTP Server users only The virtual host listening port for this Environment defined in the httpd.conf file.

    • The WCInboundDefault and WCInboundDefaultSecure ports defined in the application server created for this Environment.

      Note: These ports are listed in the Web Container > Web Container Transport Chains window in the application server configuration.
