This section describes how to create a Web server definition in the administrative console when the Web server and the Web server plug-in for WebSphere Application Server are on one machine and the application server is on another.
Why and when to perform this task
You can choose a remote Web server installation if you want the Web server on the outside of a firewall and WebSphere Application Server on the inside a firewall. You must create a remote Web server on an unmanaged node. Unmanaged nodes are nodes without node agents. Since there is no WebSphere Application Server, or node agent on the machine that the node represents, there is no way to administer a Web server on that unmanaged node unless the Web server is IBM HTTP Server. In this case, there is an administration server that will facilitate administrative requests such as start and stop, view logs, and view and edit the httpd.conf file. The following steps will create a Web server definition in the default profile.Steps for this task
In addition to the Web server files, you must change the permissions to the targeted plug-in configuration files. See Setting permissions manually for instructions.
