Web servers

HCL WebSphere Portal uses the internal HTTP transport within IBM WebSphere Application Server to handle requests. However, because WebSphere Application Server also supports the use of an external web server, we can access HCL WebSphere Portal from the web server. We can use a local web server on the same server as HCL Portal or we can use a remote web server on a different server. A remote web server is typical for a production environment or other high-traffic configuration and is also typically placed in DMZ outside a firewall to protect portal ports.

Configure your remote web server. Then, configure the web server to work with features such as HCL Web Content Manager.
