Using the Configuration Wizard

The Caching Proxy Configuration Wizard enables you to quickly configure an installed Caching Proxy. This program sets only the essential directives that are required to modify the behavior of Caching Proxy to function as a surrogate. The proxy server can require additional configuration.

To use the Caching Proxy Configuration Wizard:

  1. Start the Configuration Wizard.

    On Windows systems: click Start -> Programs -> IBM WebSphere -> Edge Components -> Caching Proxy -> Configuration Wizard.

    On Linux and UNIX systems: enter the command /opt/ibm/edge/cp/cpwizard/cpwizard.sh

  2. Select the network port on which the proxy server will listen for HTTP requests.
  3. Type the name of the target content server.
  4. Enter the user ID and password for the proxy server administrator.
Notes:
  1. The Configuration Wizard sets the following directives:
    Port port
    Proxy /* http://content server :port
  2. If the Configuration Wizard is used to configure the proxy server, then to enable SSL, a mapping rule must be created to proxy requests received through port 443. For more information, refer to Define mapping rules.

    Examples:

    Proxy /* http://content server :443

    or

    Proxy /* https://content server :443

Limitations on Linux systems: Keyboard shortcuts do not work for the Caching Proxy Configuration Wizard.
