Configure WebSEAL HTTP requests

Configure the WebSEAL HTTP requests to define how WebSEAL handles HTTP requests from unauthenticated users. It is typical to allow anonymous users read-only access to selected documents on the public section of your website. Enable or disable access to selected documents by editing the stanza entries for handling HTTP requests over TCP in the [server] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file.

Steps

1. Log in to the local management interface.

2. Select Web > Manage > Reverse Proxy.

3. Select your instance.

4. Select Manage > Configuration > Edit Configuration File.

5. Add the following line under the [server] stanza.
   [server]
   http = {yes|no}

6. Set the HTTPS access port value by adding the following line under the [server] stanza. IBM HTTP Server, WebSphere® Application Server, and WebSEAL all use port 80 as the default port.
   [server]
   http-port = 80

7. Save and deploy your changes.
