IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Define a Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server interface on Windows

Use the steps outlined in this section to define a Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server interface on Windows.

  1. On the computer where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is installed, click Start → Programs → IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services.

  2. Right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.

  3. Click Advanced → Configure TEPS Interfaces. Initially, the list has one definition named "cnps," using port 15001 for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and the IBM Tivoli integrated Web server at http://mysystem:15200 (where the variable mysystem is the host name). Port 80, for an external Web server, is assumed if the URL does not specify 15200 for the integrated Web server.

    If IIS is being used as the external Web server for Tivoli Enterprise Portal over a firewall, you may experience performance problems like slow download times. Socket pooling may also cause problems under certain conditions. If you encounter problems, try using a port other than the default port 80 on the IIS server.

  4. Click Add.

  5. Define the interface. Complete the following fields:

    Interface Name

    Type a one-word title for the interface.

    Host

    If you are defining an interface for a specific NIC or different IP address on this computer, type the TCP/IP host address. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

    Proxy Host

    If you are using address translation (NAT), type the TCP/IP address used outside the firewall. This is the NATed address.

    Port

    Type a new port number for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The default 15001 is for the server host address, so a second host IP address or a NATed address requires a different port number.

    Proxy Port

    If the port outside the firewall will be translated to something different than what is specified for Port, set that value here.

    Enable SSL for TEP clients

    Enable secure communications between clients and the portal server.

  6. Click OK to add the new Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server interface definition to the list.
