WebSEAL
represented
in
the
protected
object
space
The
server-name
parameter
in
the
WebSEAL
configuration
file
specifies
the
point
in
the
Tivoli
Access
Manager
protected
object
space
that
represents
this
WebSEAL
server
instance.
For
a
single
WebSEAL
server
installation,
this
value
is
automatically
set
using
the
host
name
of
the
machine
where
this
WebSEAL
server
is
being
installed.
For
example,
if
the
machine
(host)
name
is
sales1,
the
parameter
value
is
set
as:
[server]
server-name
=
sales1
The
representation
of
this
WebSEAL
server
instance
in
the
Tivoli
Access
Manager
protected
object
space
would
appear
as:
/WebSEAL/sales1
Root
directory
of
the
Web
document
tree
The
Web
document
tree
location
is
the
absolute
path
to
the
root
of
the
document
tree
for
document
resources
made
available
by
WebSEAL.
This
path
name
is
represented
by
the
doc-root
parameter
in
the
[content]
stanza
of
the
WebSEAL
configuration
file.
The
default
location
is
initially
established
during
the
installation
of
WebSEAL:
UNIX:
[content]
doc-root
=
/opt/pdweb/www-instance_name/docs
Windows:
[content]
doc-root
=
C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\PDWeb\www-instance_name\docs
This
value
is
used
only
once—the
first
time
WebSEAL
is
started
after
installation.
The
value
is
then
stored
in
the
junction
database.
Future
modification
of
this
value
has
no
impact.
How
to
change
the
document
root
after
installation:
After
installation,
you
must
use
the
pdadmin
utility
to
change
the
document
root
directory
location
value.
The
following
example
(machine,
or
host,
name
is
websealA)
illustrates
this
procedure:
