Use this page to view and configure an HTTP proxy inbound channel. This type of transport channel provides the HTTP proxy capabilities.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Proxy Servers > server_name > Proxy settings> Proxy server transports > HTTP_PROXY_CHAIN > ProxyInboundChannel (PROXY_1).

Transport channel name

Specifies the name of the HTTP proxy inbound channel.

The name field cannot contain the following characters: # \ / , : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '

This name must be unique across all channels in a WebSphere Application Server environment. For example, an HTTP proxy inbound channel and a TCP transport channel cannot have the same name if they reside within the same system.
Data type String

Discrimination weight

Specifies the priority this channel has in relation to the other channels in this transport chain. This property is only used when port sharing is enabled and the channel chain includes multiple channels to which it might forward data. The channel in the chain with the lowest discrimination weight is the first one given the opportunity to look at incoming data and determine whether or not it owns that data.
Data type Positive integer
Default 0
