Issue/Introduction
If I am adding dedicated IPs to a server that has the Access Gateway on it. Do I need to configure Apache or Tomcat to use that new IP? If so how do I do that? Didn't see it mentioned under the Access Gateway Config section of the documentation.
Environment
Release :R12.8.x
Component :SiteMinder Access Gateway Server
Resolution
The "front-door" of the SiteMinder Access Gateway is "Apache", so what HostName and PORTS Apache binds to or "listens" on is defined in the httpd.conf and the htpd-ssl.conf with the Apache "LISTEN" directive(s). See also the <VirtualHost> directive in the Apache documentation.
Following are Comments on the LISTEN Directive from an httpd.conf file;
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
# Listen with HOSTNAME: PORT used for running SPS on
# IPv4 or pure IPv6 or Dual stack machine
# Incase proper HOSTNAME has not been set,
# please substitute SERVERHOSTNAME with hostname
# Other option is to comment the Listen Directive given below and
# add Listen <IPv4_IP>:2080 for IPv4 or Listen [::]:2080 for IPv6
#Listen 2080
#
And following is from an httpd-ssl.conf;
# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
# standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
#
# Listen with HOSTNAME:PORT used for running SPS on
# IPV4 or pure IPV6 or Dual stack machine
# Incase proper HOSTNAME has not be set,
# please substitute SERVERHOSTNAME with hostname
# Other option is to comment the Listen Directive given bellow and
# add Listen <IPV4_IP>:443 for IPV4 or Listen [::]:443 for IPV6
Listen "443"
Once Apache is configured, you can then configure your VirtualHosts in the Server.conf for TomCat.
