Console pages to configure transport chains

The administrative console has several pages that you can use to configure transport chains.

HTTP transport collection
Use this page to view or manage HTTP transports. Transports provide request queues between web server plug-ins and web containers in which the web modules of applications reside. When you request an application in a web browser, the request is passed to the web server, then along the transport to the web container.
HTTP transport settings
Use this page to view and configure an HTTP transport. The name of the page might be that of an SSL setting such as DefaultSSLSettings. This page is not available if you do not have an HTTP transport defined for your system.
Transport chains collection
Use this page to view or manage transport chains. Transport chains enable communication through transport channels, or protocol stacks, which are usually socket based.
Transport chain settings
Use this page to view a list of the types of transport channels configured for the selected transport chain. A transport chain consists of one or more types of channels, each of which supports a different type of I/O protocol, such as TCP, HTTP, or DCS.
HTTP tunnel transport channel settings
Use this page to view and configure an HTTP tunnel transport channels. Inbound connections sent through this channel are tunneled over HTTP, allowing intermediates to view this data as the body of an HTTP message instead of in its natural format. This type of channel is often used to circumvent firewalls with protocol restrictions.
HTTP transport channel settings

DCS transport channel settings
Use this page to view and configure an DCS transport channels. This type of transport channel handles inbound Distribution and Consistency Services (DCS) messages.
ORB service transport channel settings
Use this page to view and configure an Object Request Broker (ORB) Service transport channels. This type of transport channel handles CORBA and RMI/IIOP inbound messages for the ORB Service. It enables clients to make requests and receive responses from servers in a network-distributed environment.
SSL inbound channel
Use this page to determine which SSL inbound channel options to specify for the application server.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) inbound channel settings
Use this page to configure the SIP inbound channel settings.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) container inbound channel settings
Use this page to configure the SIP container inbound channel settings.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Inbound channel settings
Use this page to configure the UDP Inbound channel settings.
Web container inbound transport channel settings
Use this page to view and configure a web container inbound channel transport. This type of channel transport handles inbound web container requests from a remote client.
