Tunnel peer access point settings

to configure a tunnel peer access point, from the admin console, click...

A tunnel peer access point is used to establish communication between core groups in different cells, when one of the cells is located on a DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server, and the other is located inside of the firewall. A tunnel peer access point corresponds to a core group access point in the peer cell. The tunnel peer access point communication settings are specified using one or more peer endpoints or a proxy peer.

A tunnel peer access point must contain either peer ports or a proxy peer access point, but not both. When the tunnel peer access point is directly accessible within its tunnel access point group, specify peer ports. When the tunnel peer access point can be reached only indirectly, use a proxy tunnel peer access point. A proxy tunnel peer access point is used to identify the communication settings for the tunnel peer access point that cannot be accessed directly. The proxy tunnel peer access point specifies a peer access point that can communicate with the appropriate destination core group. The specified proxy tunnel peer access point must be a tunnel peer access point that has defined ports.


Name

Name of the tunnel peer access point. The name must be unique within the local cell.


Cell

Cell in which the tunnel peer access point resides.

This property is case sensitive. The value we specify must exactly match the name of the cell in which the peer access point resides. For example, if WASCell05 is the name of the cell containing the peer access point, specify WASCell05 as the value for this property. If we specify wascell05 as the value for this property, communication between the two core groups is not established.


Retry delay

Specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that we want the core group bridge service to wait before attempting to reconnect to a bridge. The default is 30.


SSL configuration

Specifies whether to use SSL to establish a secure connection.

If SSL is selected, we must also select one of the following options:


Cell-level access

Level of access that a server from another cell is given to the local cell when that server uses this access point to establish communication with the local cell.
