Tasks Plan for the DMZ secure proxy
The WAS DMZ secure proxy is available through a separate installation media.
Like WAS, The DMZ secure proxy differentiates between product binaries and runtime configuration files by using profiles. A secureproxy profile template is created upon installation of the DMZ secure proxy server and WAS ND. 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.
The following items should be addressed before starting the installation of the DMZ secure proxy server:
Plan the file systems and directories
Determine whether to perform a single install or multiple
Select an installation method
Install updates
Plan for profiles
Plan for names
Plan for TCP/IP port assignments
