WebSphere Application Server V7.0: Concepts ... - IBM Redbooks

The WebSphere Application Server DMZ secure proxy is available through a
separate installation media. A secureproxy profile template is created upon
installation of the DMZ secure proxy server and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment. These two profiles templates are different. The network
deployment installation provides a secureproxy profile template which generates
a configuration only profile. This profile can be used for the administration of the
DMZ secure proxy but is not runnable.
The secureproxy profile template that comes with DMZ secure proxy server is the
base for a proxy server running in the DMZ and forwarding requests to the
content servers.
Due to the similarity of the installation of a DMZ secure proxy server and
WebSphere Application Server, this section only outlines the differences.
The following items should be addressed before starting the installation of the
DMZ secure proxy server:
► Plan your file systems and directories
► Determine whether to perform a single install or multiple
► Select an installation method
► Installing updates
► Plan for profiles
► Plan for names
► Plan for TCP/IP port assignments
► Security considerations for the installation
► Installation of IBM Support Assistant Agent
For a detailed description on these items, refer to 6.9, “Planning for WebSphere
Application Server” on page 197.
6.8 Planning for the HTTP server and plug-in
The options for defining and managing Web servers depends on your chosen
topology and your WebSphere Application Server package. Decisions to make
include whether to collocate the Web server with other WebSphere Application
Server processes and whether to make the Web server managed or unmanaged.
The installation process includes installing a supported Web server and the
appropriate Web server plug-in and defining the Web server to WebSphere
Application Server.
