Creating endpoints

In this procedure, you will create the endpoints by specifying the servers that will serve as endpoints.

Before you perform this procedure, you must know:

  • The fully qualified domain name (FDQN) of the servers that will be endpoints.

  • HTTP and HTTPS port numbers for the web server.

    The HTTPS port is required only if HTTPS has been configured for the web server. If you do not use HTTPS, accept the default of "-1" at prompts requesting the HTTPS port.

  1. Run the ssoconfig utility. From a command prompt, specify

    ssoconfig -c

  2. At the prompt, specify the password for the ssoconfig utility.
  3. At the main menu, choose "9, Manage Endpoints."
  4. Add the first endpoint (web server). At the endpoint submenu, choose "1, Add New HTTP Endpoint."
    1. At the prompt, "Lawson HTTP Endpoint FQDN," specify the fully qualified domain name of one of the servers. For example, if your server is named "ws1" and your domain is "mydomain," you would specify:

      ws1.mydomain.com

      and then press Enter.

    2. At the prompt, "Lawson HTTP Endpoint HTTP Port," specify the number of the port that will be used for HTTP communication. Press Enter after you specify the port number.
    3. At the prompt, "Lawson HTTP Endpoint HTTPS Port," specify the number of the port that will be used for HTTPS communication. Press Enter after you specify the port number. (If you are not using HTTPS, just press Enter to accept the default of "-1".)
  5. Add the second web server. At the endpoint submenu, choose "1, Add New HTTP Endpoint."
    1. At the prompt, "Lawson HTTP Endpoint FQDN," specify the fully qualified domain name of one of the servers. For example, if your server is "ws2" and your domain is "mydomain," you would specify:

      ws2.mydomain.com

      and then press Enter.

    2. At the prompt, "Lawson HTTP Endpoint HTTP Port," specify the number of the port that will be used for HTTP communication. Press Enter after you specify the port number.
    3. At the prompt, "Lawson HTTP Endpoint HTTPS Port," specify the number of the port that will be used for HTTPS communication. Press Enter after you specify the port number. (If you are not using HTTPS, just press Enter to accept the default of "-1".)
  6. If your installation includes more than two endpoints, repeat step 5 as often as necessary to add the endpoints.

    You are now ready to create endpoint groups.

  7. Press "8, Back" to return to the main menu or "9, Exit" to exit the ssoconfig utility.
