Proxy virtual hosts collection

Use this page to administer proxy virtual hosts. A proxy virtual host allows a single proxy server to host multiple domains or ports on a single IP or port. Each proxy virtual host consists of a domain name and a port. To view this console page, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere proxy servers > proxy_server_name > Proxy virtual hosts.

Virtual host name

User-defined symbolic name for a proxy virtual host.

A virtual host name must be unique and cannot contain an invalid character. The virtual host name is a reflection of the web domain it represents. For example, use a virtual host name of www.proxy1.com to represent the www.proxy1.com web domain. The asterisk symbol, *, can be used in the name field to indicate that this proxy virtual host matches all web domains. The name field cannot contain the following characters: # \ / , : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '.

Proxy rule expressions

Specifies a rule expression for a proxy virtual host. A proxy rule expression consists of operands and operators defined by an administrator. If a proxy rule expression evaluates to true, then the proxy actions that are configured for the rule are run.

Enabled

Whether or not a proxy virtual host is enabled.

If a proxy virtual host is enabled, then the configuration for the proxy virtual host is used when a user makes a request for the proxy virtual host. Otherwise, another matching proxy virtual host configuration is used. If no other proxy virtual host configuration matches the configuration for the requested proxy virtual host, then the server-scoped configuration is used.
