Virtual hosts represented in the object space

Standard WebSEAL junctions are represented in the protected object space as a mount point within the document space of WebSEAL.

Junctions are represented in the following format:

Virtual host junctions are represented in the protected object space by virtual host junction designations, which are always at the root of WebSEAL's document space. These designations are called virtual host labels. For example:

The following example shows the representation of the resource, readme.html, under the directory, pubs, on a virtual host junction with the label support.ibm.com-http . The full path in the protected object space appears as follows:

Virtual host junctions created with the -g options also appear in the protected object space so management ACLs can be placed on them. However, the directories and resources protected by those junctions are not displayed. Those directories and resources are only visible under the primary junction (the -g option forces WebSEAL to recognize only a single object space). For example:
