Steps for adding application domains to the Web server configuration files

Before you begin

  • This procedure requires Web server programming skills and requires editing both the httpd.conf file and the httpd1443.conf file.
  • The home page URL for the new or renamed domains would be as follows:
    http://<webserver-fully-qualified-domain-name>/<new-appl-domain-name>/public-cgi/camain.rexx
    where new-appl-domain-name corresponds to the new section name added in the template file in Steps for creating multiple application sections in the PKI Services template file. However, in the Web server files, the new name is case-sensitive but need not be in upper case only.
  • Make note of the case you select for each character of the new new-appl-domain-name name. This case-sensitive value will become part of the URL for your home page and you must use it consistently in each set of Protect, Redirect, and Exec statements you add to your Web server configuration file.
  • The administration home page URL does not change. (There is one common administration application that handles all application domains.)
  • If your PKI installation has changed the name of the Customers domain, you must change all occurrences of Customers to its new value in both files. (The new value is not case-sensitive.)
  • If your installation has added a new application domain, use the following procedure.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to add domains or rename the Customers domain in Web server configuration files httpd.conf and httpd1443.conf for each new application section added to pkiserv.tmpl:
  1. Replicate each of the following lines in both the httpd.conf and httpd1443.conf files:
    • Protect ⁄Customers⁄…
    • Redirect ⁄Customers⁄…
    • Exec ⁄Customers⁄…
  2. Change each occurrence of the name Customers in the replicated lines in both files to the new application domain name.
    • Protect ⁄Employees⁄…
    • Redirect ⁄Employees⁄…
    • Exec ⁄Employees⁄…

    In contrast to the application section name, the domain name value is case-sensitive and it need not be uppercase. However, you must use it consistently in each set of Protect, Redirect, and Exec statements. This value will become part of the URL for your home page.

When you are done, you have defined a new PKI Services application domain at:

Example

http://<webserver-fully-qualified-domain-name>/employees/public-cgi/camain.rexx
