The default virtual host (default_host)
WebSphere Application Server provides a default virtual host (default_host) that uses wildcard entries with the ports for virtual host entries:
- Default alias is *:80. using an internal port that is not secure.
- Aliases of the form *:9080 use the secure internal port.
- Aliases of the form *:9443 use the external port that is not secure.
- Aliases of the form *:443 use the secure external port.
Unless you specifically want to isolate resources from one another on the same node (physical machine), you probably do not need any virtual hosts in addition to the default host.
