Intermediary nodes allow the exchange of Web Services Atomic Transaction (WS-AT) and Web
Services Business Activity (WS-BA) protocol messages across firewalls and outside the WebSphere®
Application Server domain. You configure an intermediary node to specify which WebSphere Application servers the
node routes requests to.
Procedure
- Decide what type of intermediary node to configure: a Proxy Server for IBM®
WebSphere
Application Server, an HTTP server, or both.
- Complete one of the following steps, according to the choice you made in the previous
step.
Results
You configured the intermediary node ready for use by WebSphere Application
Server.
What to do next
Configure WebSphere Application Server to use the intermediary node by specifying, for each server, the
appropriate virtual host of the intermediary node.
