URL settings
To define connections to Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), which are location names that represent electronically accessible resources. A collection of URL connection properties is often called a URL configuration in the WAS environment. The targeted resources are remote to the appserver installation.
We can access this admin console page in one of two ways:
- Resources > URL > URLs > URL
- Resources > URL > URL Providers > URL_provider > URLs > URL
- Scope
Scope of the URL provider that supports this URL configuration. Only applications that are installed within this scope can use this URL configuration to access URL resources.
- Provider
Specifies the URL provider that WAS uses for this URL configuration.
Supported configurations: If we previously defined one or more URL providers at the relevant scope, you see a list from which we can select an existing URL provider for the new URL configuration.
- Create New Provider
Provides the option of configuring a new URL provider for the new URL configuration.
Create New Provider is displayed only when creating a new URL from the Resources > URL > URLs path. In this flow, we can create a new URL provider if needed. The URL provider can not be changed during an edit.
Clicking Create New Provider triggers the console to display the URL provider configuration page, where you create a new provider. After you click OK to save the settings, you see the URL collection page. Click New to define a new URL configuration for use with the new provider; the console now displays a configuration page that lists the new provider as the URL configuration Provider.
