The Java™ virtual
machine (JVM) must be modified so that WebSphere® Application Server can use an
HTTP/TCP proxy. You do this change by setting some JVM options through
the administrative console.
About this task
To configure WebSphere Application Server to use the
HTTP/TCP proxy:
Procedure
- In the administrative console, open the Java virtual machine page to enter values for
the JVM settings. The steps to set JVM arguments with the administrative
console are different depending on the version of WebSphere Application Server that you are
using. For information about how to set JVM arguments from the administrative
console, see Setting generic JVM arguments in WebSphere Application Server.
- In the Generic JVM arguments field,
type the following arguments:
-Dhttp.proxyHost=<Host name or IP address of HTTP/TCP proxy>
-Dhttp.proxyPort=<Port number specified during installation of Rational Test Control Panel and/or editing registration.xml file, for example, 3128>
- Save the changes that are made to the master configuration.
- Restart the application server for the changes to take
effect.
Note: If you are setting up a HTTP/TCP proxy to
support HTTPS, the properties are -Dhttps.proxyHost and -Dhttps.proxyPort.
