Adding a host alias to a WebSphere Application Server v5.x

You can configure host aliases in conjunction with ports for a WebSphere Application Server v5.x.

To configure HTTP transports for a server:

1. In the Servers view, double-click the WebSphere Application Server v5.x to open it. The server editor opens.

2. Click the Ports tab at the bottom of the editor. The Cell Settings section shows a host alias list with host names and ports.

3. Beside the Host alias list, click the Add or Edit button.

4. In the Host name field, type the IP address or the domain name system (DNS) host name used by a client to request a Web application resource (such as a servlet, JSP file, or HTML page). For example, the host alias name might be myhost.

5. In the Port field, type the port for which the Web server has been configured to accept client requests. For example, a port might be 8080 in a DNS name of myhost:8080.

6. Click OK.

7. To remove a host alias, select a host alias from the table and click the Remove button.

8. In the Admin host port field, specify the port used for connecting to the WebSphere administration console.
   Tip: To enable the Admin host port field, you first need to enable the administration console before you can edit this field. You can complete this by switching to the Configuration page and select the Enable administration console check box.

9. Save and close the server editor.
