Websphere Portal and WebServers

By default websphere portal uses the host name where portal is installed and the http transport port created by WAS. e.g. http://hostname.example.com:10040/wps/portal

the host name and port name is specified by properties WpsHostName and WpsHostPort in wkplc.properties file.
In order to use webserver with websphere portal, webserver plugin needs to be installed in webserver. this plugin uses an xml configuration file called plugin-cgf.xml which can be obtained from WAS.

If one need to access websphere portal using host/port other than that of webserver then "virtual host definition" needs to be added to WAS.
