This parameter is required.

Virtual host option	Parameter	Description
General option for TCP and SSL junction types	-a address	Local IP address that WebSEAL uses when communicating with the target back-end server. If not provided, WebSEAL uses the default address as determined by the operating system. If we supply an address for a particular junction, WebSEAL binds to this local address for all communication with the junctioned server.
General option for TCP and SSL junction types	-i	WebSEAL server treats URLs as case insensitive. See Support for URLs as not case-sensitive.
General option for TCP and SSL junction types	-p port	TCP port of the back-end third-party server. Default is 80 for TCP junctions; 443 for SSL junctions. See Create TCP type standard junctions and Create SSL type standard junctions.
General option for TCP and SSL junction types	-q url	Relative path for query_contents script. By default, WebSEAL looks for query_contents in /cgi_bin/. If this directory is different or the query_contents file name is different, use this option to indicate to WebSEAL the new URL to the file. Required for back-end Windows servers. See Install query_contents on Windows-based Web servers.
General option for TCP and SSL junction types	-w	Windows file system support. See Junctions to Windows file systems.
Stateful junctions See Stateful junctions.	-u UUID	UUID of a back-end server that is connected to WebSEAL in a stateful virtual host junction (-s).
Mutual authentication over SSL See Mutually authenticated SSL junctions.	-D "DN"	Specify Distinguished Name of back-end server certificate. This value, matched with actual certificate DN enhances authentication.
Proxy junction (requires-t tcpproxy or-t sslproxy) See TCP and SSL proxy junctions.	-H host name	DNS host name or IP address of the proxy server.
Proxy junction (requires -t tcpproxy or -t sslproxy) See TCP and SSL proxy junctions.	-P port	The TCP port of the proxy server.
