WAS advisor over SSL
|
|

| I know there are HTTP and HTTP_S advisors.
And that there is a WAS advisor, but noWAS_S advisor.
Will the WAS advisor be able to advise on a WAS server that only listens on
port 443 which is SSL?
Thanks.......Paul

| Paul...the current advisor would not. Somebody would have to write a
custom advisor that does the SSL handshake, body decryption, etc, in
order for the WAS advisor to work over SSL.

| Thanks Jeff,
Many customers are running thier WAS servers in SSL mode or are in the
process of doing so. There will be an ever incereasing need for a WAS_S
advisor, just as there was a need for a HTTPS advisor in the past. With that
in mind, does the LB group have any plans to provide a WAS_S advisor in the
future? If not where should I direct my suggestion for LB to provide one. It
seems wasteful for everyone to re-create the wheel by having everyone code
thier own WAS_S advisor. LB development has already made a HTTPS advisor, it
seems it would be easy for LB dev to create a WAS_S advisor. IMHO...
Thanks........Paul

| Paul,
Anybody, internal IBM or external customers, can submit a FITSMO (DCR)
request to the Brand Management team for new functionality. I'll send
you a note on that process. Also, I'll send a note to the development
manager, but it's good to follow the FITSMO process as well because
development isn't always allowed to do the things we want
