-xs iqsrv16 database server option

Specifies server-side web services communications protocols.

Syntax

iqsrv16 -xs [,..]  { protocol[,...] }

protocol : { 
NONE
 | HTTP [ ( option=value;...) ]
 | HTTPS [ ( option=value;...) ]

Allowed values

You can specify any of the following:

option – A network protocol option
HTTP – Listen for web requests by the client using the HTTP protocol. The default port on which to listen is 80.
HTTPS – Listen for web requests by the client using the HTTPS protocol. The default port on which to listen is 443. You must specify the server's certificate and password to use HTTPS. The password must be an RSA certificate because HTTPS uses RSA encryption.
The HTTP server supports HTTPS connections using SSL version 3.0 and TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1.

You can specify HTTPS, or HTTPS with FIPS=Y for FIPS-certified RSA encryption. FIPS-certified HTTPS uses a separate certified library, but is compatible with HTTPS.
NONE – Do not listen for web requests. This is the default.

Applies to

All operating systems and database servers.

Remarks

Use the -xs option to specify which web protocols you want to use to listen for requests.

If you do not specify the -xs option, the database server doesn't attempt to listen for web requests.

To specify multiple protocols, you can specify the -xs option for each protocol or you can specify multiple protocols with one -xs option. The server listens for web requests using all the specified protocols.

Note: To start multiple web servers at the same time, change the port for one of them since they both have the same default port.

You can use the HTTPS or FIPS-certified HTTPS protocols for transport-layer security.

On Unix, quotation marks are required if more than one parameter is supplied:

-xs "HTTP(OPTION1=value1;OPTION2=value2;...)"

Note: Separately licensed component required.

FIPS-certified encryption requires a separate license. All strong encryption technologies are subject to export regulations.

Example

Listen for HTTP web requests on port 80:

iqsrv16 web.db -xs HTTP(PORT=80)

Listen for web requests using HTTPS:

iqsrv16 web.db -xs HTTPS(FIPS=N;PORT=82;IDENTITY=ecserver.id;IDENTITY_PASSWORD=test)

Listen on ports 80 and 8080:

iqsrv16 -xs HTTP(port=80),HTTP(PORT=8080)

iqsrv16 -xs HTTP(port=80) -xs HTTP(PORT=8080)
