6.6.13: Administering transports

Transports define the characteristics of the connections between the Web server and the application server, across which requests for applications are routed. Specifically, they define the connection between the Web server plug-in and the Web container of the application server.

Use transport properties to specify:

  • How to manage the set of connections; for example, how many concurrent requests to allow
  • Whether to secure the connections with SSL
  • Host and IP information for the transport participants

Administering the transport is closely related to administering the WebSphere plug-ins for Web servers. Indeed, without the plug-in configuration, the transport configuration is of little use.
