Chapter 15 Shared Resources : HTTP Connection

HTTP Connection
The HTTP Connection resource describes the characteristics of the connection used to receive incoming HTTP requests. This section provides a reference to the fields. For procedures see Adding a Shared Resource.
The HTTP Connection resource can specify that the HTTPS (secure sockets layer or SSL) protocol must be used by clients. If this is enabled, you can configure the SSL parameters for the HTTP server using the Configure SSL Button. See Configure SSL for more information.
Wizard and Configuration Tab
The Wizard and Configuration tab have the following fields.
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.
Configure SSL
The SSL Configuration for HTTPS Connections dialog (accessed by configuring the Configure SSL button) allows you to specify the SSL parameters for the HTTP connection.
The following are the fields in the SSL Configuration for HTTPS Connections dialog:
When checked, this field specifies that the minimum strength of the cipher suites used can be specified with the bw.plugin.security.strongcipher.minstrength custom engine property. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Administration for more information about this property. The default value of the property disables cipher suites with an effective key length below 128 bits.
