Configuring global HAT parameters in IAG

  • Article

Applies To: Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG)

You can optionally configure host address translation (HAT) parameters for use during link manipulation for all portal trunks configured in Whale Communications Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007. For more information about HAT, see About host address translation (HAT) in IAG portals. If you do not configure HAT parameters as described here, IAG automatically assigns the required parameters the first time you configure a portal trunk. You can change the configuration settings any time after the initial configuration.

Configuring global HAT parameters

Configure global HAT parameters as follows:

To configure global HAT parameters:

  1. In the IAG Configuration console, on the Admin menu, click Advanced Configuration.

  2. On the Advanced Configuration dialog box, in the Host Address Translation area, enter the following, and then click OK:

    • Unique Identifier—A sign that will be added to manipulated links in responses and by which IAG will recognize the URL in the request.

      Note

      The unique identifier must contain only alphanumeric values.

      Make sure the identifier is not a string that is contained within one of the server names in your organization. For example, if one of the servers in your organization is named appserver, do not use the string app or ser as the unique identifier.

    • Encryption Key—A key that will be used for internal encryption.

  3. In the Configuration program, click the Activate icon to save and activate the configuration.

    During link manipulation, IAG will use the unique identifier and encryption key you entered here, for all portal trunks.
