A listener is an EAServer port that communicates with clients using various protocols. For protocols that use SSL security features (HTTPS and IIOPS), you assign a security profile to the listener. The profile defines security characteristics of the listener. For protocols that do not use SSL (HTTP and IIOP), no security profile is required. For information about security profiles, see “Configuring security profiles” in Chapter 10, “Security Configuration Tasks,” in the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide.
This section describes the tasks required to configure listeners. You can:
Create a new listener and assign a profile to it.
Assign a profile to an existing listener.
Modify listener settings for both secure (IIOPS and HTTPS) and unsecure protocols (IIOP, and HTTP).
