To create a Web Server entry

  1. If you are not already in the Web Servers interaction, click on Web Servers in the ClearTrust SecureControl Web UI top menu. The Web Servers interaction will be displayed.
  2. Click the Create button to open the Create Web Server dialog:
  3. Specify the name, hostname, port number, manufacturer, and description of the Web Server. The manufacturer and description information is for your own information; the name, hostname, port number, and owner are significant pieces of information, as described in the following table:

    Usage Notes

    Name

    Name by which the Web Server is known to the ClearTrust SecureControl system

    The name must be unique in the context of your ClearTrust environment. It must match the Web Server name parameter in the Web Server Plug-in's default.conf file (securecontrol.plugin.web_server_name). The default name in that file is "Web Server" - if you enter something other than that here, be sure you change the information in the default.conf file for the Plug-in to match.

    Hostname

    Must match the actual fully-qualified name of the Web Server

    For example, hostname.domain.com , or the IP address

    Port number

    Must match the port address on which your Web Server advertises its http services.

    The default is typically port 80, but if you've configured your Web Server with a different port number, enter it here.

    Administrative Group

    Administrative Group (within ClearTrust SecureControl) that will own this Web Server.

    By default, the Administrative Group that your current logon account is a member of will display. If you're logged on as a Super User, you can transfer ownership to another group if necessary.
  4. To mark the Web Server as private, select the Private checkbox. A private Web Server can be seen only by an Administrator with the same Administrative Role as the Administrator who created the Web Server. Web servers are created as public by default.
  5. If you're a Super User and you want to transfer ownership of the Web Server to an Administrative Group other than the one displayed, click the Set button (next to the Administrative Group field) to display the Select Administrative Group interaction. Once in the Select Administrative Group interaction, click on the Use button next to an Administrative Group name to select an Administrative Group from the list and return to the Web Server interaction, or click Cancel to return without making any changes.
  6. Click Save to save the information about the Web Server. The server is now listed in the Web Servers interaction.

You can now identify Server Trees on this Web Server that will be managed by different Administration Groups (see Server Trees), and create Applications that include this Web Server (see Applications).
