Using a Virtual Name for a Web Service

You can use the Host HTTP header to define a virtual name for the Web Server. Defining a virtual name is helpful if you do not want to use the name of the physical host when accessing the resource.

Update the DNS

• Add the virtual name to the DNS, and then map the name to the I.P. address of the physical machine. The mapping keeps the communication with the web service functional.

Configure the Web Server Hostname

1. Log on to the CommCell Console.

2. To the Web Server computer, add the sIISInternalHostname additional setting as shown in the following table.

   For instructions about adding an additional setting from the CommCell Console, see Adding an Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

   Property	Value
   Name	sIISInternalHostname
   Category	Session
   Type	String
   Value	The virtual name for the Web Server.

2. Open the registry editor and click:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\instance\WebConsole

   where instance is the installation instance of the Web Console.

3. Right-click the baseUrl registry key, and then click Modify.

4. In the Value Data box, update the value to use the virtual name:

   https://virtual_name:port/SearchSvc/CVWebService.svc

      https://virtual_name:port/proxysvc/proxy.aspx

   3. Go to software_installation_path\CVProxyService.

   4. Back up the ProxySettings.config file by making a copy of the file.

   5. Open the ProxySettings.config file, and then update the WEB_SERVICE_URL parameter to use the virtual name:

       
      <add key="WEB_SERVICE_URL" value="http://virtual_name:port/SearchSvc/CVWebService.svc/" />
