<h4><a id="sthref35" name="sthref35"></a>To Create a Virtual Server</h4>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<ol>
<li>
<p>In the navigation tree, expand the Configuration node.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select the configuration that you are changing.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Under the Configuration node, select the Virtual Servers node.</p>
<p>The Virtual Servers page opens.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>On the Virtual Servers page, click New.</p>
<p>The New Virtual Server page opens.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Id field, type a value that will identify the virtual server internally.</p>
<p>This value is not exposed to HTTP clients. The host names that are exposed to HTTP clients must be specified in the Hosts field.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Hosts field, type the host names or IP addresses for the machine on which the server is running.</p>
<p>Use either actual or virtual host names that are registered with the DNS server for your network (and, on a UNIX system, in your <code>/etc/hosts</code> file).</p>
<p>The default value is the system property value <code>${com.sun.aas.hostName}</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select a State option for the new virtual server.</p>
<p>The virtual server can be On (that is, active), Off, or Disabled. The default value is On.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select an SSO option for the new virtual server.</p>
<p>By default, a virtual server inherits the single sign-on (SSO) setting of the HTTP service. Select Enabled or Disabled to override the HTTP service setting by enabling or disabling single sign-on for this virtual server.</p>
<p>Single sign-on across applications on the GlassFish Server is supported by servlets and JSP files. This feature allows multiple applications that require the same user sign-on information to share this information, rather than have the user sign on separately for each application.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>From the Network Listeners drop-down list, select one or more network listeners, or leave the field blank.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>From the Default Web Module drop-down list, select the module that is to respond to all requests that cannot be mapped to other web modules deployed to the virtual server.</p>
<p>If a default web module is not specified, the web module that has an empty context root is used. If there is no web module with an empty context root, a system default web module is created and used.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Log File field, type the path name of the file where logging messages from this virtual server will appear.</p>
<p>By default, logging messages will be sent to the default server log, <i>domain-dir</i><code>/logs/server.log</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Docroot field, type the absolute path to the root document directory for the server.</p>
<p>If the field is left blank, <i>domain-dir</i><code>/docroot</code> will be used.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select an Access Logging option to enable or disable access logging.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can specify if access logging is inherited from the HTTP Service. By default, it is inherited from the HTTP Service.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Directory field, type the absolute directory path to the server access logs.</p>
<p>The default value is <i>domain-dir</i><code>/logs/access</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Additional Properties section, specify additional properties for the virtual server.</p>
<p>For information on available properties, see <a href="ref-virtualserverprops.html">Properties Specific to Virtual Servers</a>.</p>
<p>To add a property, click the Add Property button. In the blank row that appears, type the property name in the Name field, and type the property value in the Value field.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click OK.</p>
</li>
