5.2.5 Key server configuration files

5.2.5 Key server configuration files

At a minimum, understand the WebSphere Application Server configuration settings used in three core files:

server.xml (see 5.2.6, server.xml)

serverindex.xml (see 5.2.7, serverindex.xml)

security xml (see 5.2.8, security.xml)

These configuration files are the most important for the WebSphere Application Server environment. Local copies are held on the given node, and the deployment manager maintains its own master copy that it replicates out to the nodes it manages in the WebSphere Application Server - Network Deployment edition and above.
AIX and WebSphere Application Server administrators should be familiar with the core information in these files because it affects the platform configuration as well as the general appserver configuration, and in many ways can be considered the WebSphere Application Server equivalent of the .conf files and the Object Data Manager (ODM) files used for configuration of the AIX environment.
