admin_host virtual host is not displayed in plugin_cfg.xml file
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
For security reasons, the admin_host virtual host and corresponding host aliases are not included in the plugin_cfg file.
 
Resolving the problem
  1. The admin_host virtual host is not displayed in the plugin_cfg.xml file for security reasons. The administrative console runs under the admin_host port . If you want to access the administrative console through the plug-in file, you must change the virtual host for the administrative console and file transfer applications to another virtual host and add the administrative port to the new virtual host and the HTTP Transport port.

  2. If any of the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server transport ports use the administrative host port, that Application Server port does not display in the plugin-cfg.xml file. In the plug-in regen trace, you see something similar to this:

    [5/13/04 13:50:13:231 MST] 702a95d8 PluginDocumen d Not including
    virtual host "admin_host" in plugin-cfg.xml
    [5/13/04 13:50:13:238 MST] 702a95d8 PluginDocumen d Admin transport
    -->lpqwa001: 25001<-- will not be added to plugin-cfg.xml
    [5/13/04 13:50:13:239 MST] 702a95d8 PluginDocumen d Admin transport
    -->lpqwa002: 25001<-- will not be added to plugin-cfg.xml
    [5/13/04 13:50:13:239 MST] 702a95d8 PluginDocumen d Admin transport
    -->ndm_lx01q: 25001<-- will not be added to plugin-cfg.xml
    [5/13/04 13:50:13:240 MST] 702a95d8 PluginDocumen d Admin transport
    -->ndm_lx01q: 25051<-- will not be added to plugin-cfg.xml

To avoid this problem, change the Application Server transport port to anything other than the administrative host port . The Application Server does not have to be in the same node.
