Adding and configuring listeners

This section describes how to add, modify, and delete a listener.

Adding a new listener

Highlight Listeners, right-click, and select Add.

Complete the wizard to create the new listener. Specify these values:

Listener Name A display name for the listener.

Protocol IIOP, IIOPS, HTTP, HTTPS, or RMI.

Host Name The name of the machine on which EAServer is running; the default is ${host.name}.

Port The port number where the server listens for requests.

Select Finish.

Using ports less than 1024 On UNIX platforms, if you configure listeners using port numbers less than 1024, you must start the server with a user ID that has root privileges. See “OS Configuration” on page 30.

Deleting a listener

To disable a listener, see “Listeners tab”. To delete a listener configuration:

Expand the Listeners folder, then select the listener to delete.
Right-click, and select Delete.
In the wizard, verify that you want to delete the listener.

Configuring listener properties

Expand the Listeners folder, then select the listener to modify.

The listener properties display in the right pane:

General tab

Performance tab

If you edit listener properties, select Apply to save your changes.

If you modify an existing listener, restart the server for your changes to take effect. If you change the server’s host name or port number, enter the new URL in the Management Console and reconnect to the server.
