Use pdadmin server task to create virtual host junctions

Learn how to use pdadmin commands to create virtual host junctions.

We must log in to a secure domain as a user with administration authorization, such as sec_master before we use pdadmin.

Enter Password: 
pdadmin>

The pdadmin utility provides an interactive command-line prompt where we can do WebSEAL virtual host junction tasks. Use the pdadmin server task virtualhost command to create WebSEAL virtual host junctions. See the Web command reference topics in the IBM Knowledge Center for complete syntax information for the pdadmin utility. Options for standard WebSEAL junctions are described in Command option summary: standard junctions.

To create virtual host junctions, we use the pdadmin server task virtualhost create command (entered as one line): 

pdadmin> server task instance_name-webseald-host_name virtualhost create 
options vhost-label
