Wizard and Configuration Tab

The Wizard and Configuration tab have the following fields.

Field Global Var? Description
Wizard
File Name No The name to appear as the label for the resource. Names follow Java variable naming restrictions. Do not use any reserved words. Names must be unique within a folder. See Identifier Naming Requirements .

Unlike other resource identifiers, however, shared resource identifiers can have spaces in the name.

This field appears on the New HTTP Connection Wizard. The name then appears in the title of the resource.

Configuration
Description Yes Short description of the resource.
Host Yes Specifies the name of the host that accepts the incoming requests. For machines that have only one network card, the default value localhost specifies the current machine. For machines that have more than one network card, this field specifies the host name of the card that will be used to accept incoming HTTP requests.
Note
 Only one HTTP server can be started on each port. Therefore, if you have a machine with multiple network cards, make certain that all HTTP Connection resources that use the same host name specify different port numbers.
Note
 If there is more than one network card on the machine, and you specify localhost in this field, then all network cards on the machine will listen for incoming HTTP requests on the specified port.
Port Yes Port number on which to listen for incoming HTTP requests.
Use SSL No Specifies whether incoming requests must use the HTTPS (secure socket layer, or SSL) protocol. This protocol authenticates the server to the client, and optionally authenticates the client to the server.

By enabling this field you can specify SSL parameters with the Configure SSL button (see Configure SSL ).
