Before you begin
Inbound transports refer to the types of listener ports and their attributes that are opened to receive requests for this server. Both Common Secure Interoperability Specification, Version 2 (CSIv2) and z/OS Secure Authentication Service (z/SAS) have the ability to configure the transport.
CSIv2 and z/SAS support most of the same functions. CSIv2 has the advantage of interoperability with other WebSphere Application Server products and any other platforms that support the CSIv2 protocol.
Why and when to perform this task
Complete the following steps to configure the Inbound Transport panels in the administrative console:Steps for this task
You complete this action in a different panel, but this is the time to think about it. Most end points are managed at a single location, which is why they do not appear in the Inbound Transport panels. Managing end points at a single location helps you decrease the number of conflicts in your configuration when you assign the end points. The location for SSL end points is at each server. The following port names are defined in the End Points panel and are used for object request broker (ORB) security:
For an application server, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > End Points.
The Object Request Broker (ORB) on WebSphere Application Server uses a listener port for Remote Method Invocation over the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI/IIOP) communications, which is generally not specified and selected dynamically during run time. If you are working with a firewall, you must specify a static port for the ORB listener and open that port on the firewall so that communication can pass through the specified port. The end point property for setting the ORB listener port is: ORB_LISTENER_ADDRESS.
Complete the following steps using the administrative console to specify the ORB_LISTENER_ADDRESS port or ports.
Results
The inbound transport configuration is complete.Example
What to do next
When you finish configuring security, perform the following steps to save, synchronize, and restart the servers:
