Data entry
Name
Alias of the machine corresponding to the physical server .
Description
Remark associated with the server.
Host name or IP address
Enter either the host name (if there is a DNS on the machine), or else the server's IP address.
Port
Port on which the Middleware daemon is to listen.
Default port: 910.
Profile
Server connection profile.
With Windows or Java servers, the profile must have been declared in the server machine configuration; the profile name is case-sensitive (i.e. distinguishing between capitals and lowercase letters).
With AS/400 servers, the profile must be present on the AS/400.
This profile will automatically be sent to the server when the client machine connects to it.
However, if the profile is left blank in this dialog box, it will have to be entered when the client machine connects to the server.
The special value *SSO indicates that you wish to enable single sign-on (SSO). The server must be configured to accept this authentication mode.
Password
Password associated with the connection profile.
With Windows or Java servers, the password is case-sensitive (i.e. distinguishing between capitals and lowercase letters).
In the case of single sign-on, the password is ignored.
URL
URL designating the Middleware servlet to be contacted.
You can only enter data in this field if the Via HTTP box is checked.
Note: with a Windows HTTP configuration, the Web server's URL must contain the port number if it is different than the default port (i.e. port 80 with the HTTP protocol and port 443 with the HTTPS protocol).
Special case - Validity of the SSL certificate in HTTPS mode
- Invalid certificates are processed by default. If you want to ignore any invalid certificates, you must add the FlagSSL key in the physical server or physical HTTP server section of the MWCLIENT.INI client/server configuration file.
