More on the AJAX Proxy

Following on from my earlier posts, I've now discovered, thanks to @WAS_John, how to determine whether the AJAX Proxy config ( proxy-config.xml ) actually made it into my cluster member's configuration.

He explained that the update process: -

wsadmin> AdminTask.updateBlobConfig('[-clusterName BAMSR01.WebApp -propertyFileName "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/BAMDMProfile/BusinessSpace/BAMSR01.WebApp/mm.runtime.prof/config/proxy-config.xml" -prefix "Mashups_"]')

actually updates resources.xml.

However, I wasn't 100% clear which specific file got updated.

This is how I checked: -

$ cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/BAMN1Profile/config/cells

$ ls -al `find . -name resources.xml`

Note that I have highlighted the file that changed most recently.

Note that I've highlighted the property that I had previously changed - unsigned_ssl_certificate_support=false.

Nice one, John
