How to use 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.

Procedure

  1. Start the configuration wizard, as follows:
    • 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 listens for HTTP requests.
  3. Enter the name of the target content server.
  4. Enter the user ID and password for the proxy server administrator.

Results

The Configuration wizard sets the following directives:
Port port
Proxy /* http://content server :port
               

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.

Example

Proxy /* http://content server :443
or
Proxy /* https://content server :443
[Linux]Attention: Keyboard shortcuts do not work for the Caching Proxy Configuration wizard.
