Virtual Hosts

A virtual host is a configuration enabling a single host machine to resemble multiple host machines. It consists of a host alias or aliases, which consis t of a host name and a port number.
If you specify an asterisk ( *) as a host name, all host names and IP addresses that the Web server can receive will be mapped to that virtual host.
There are two virtual hosts defined during installation, default_host and admin_host.
- The default_host virtual host is intended for access to user applications, either through the HTTP transport or through a Web server. At installation time, it is configured as the default virtual host for the server1 application server. It i s configured to match requests to ports 80, 9080, and 9443 for any host name.
- The admin_host virtual host is used for access to the WebSphere administrative console.
It is configured to match requests to the secure ports 9090 (HTTP transport) and 9043 (Web server) for any host name.
