Virtual hosts

Virtual hosts enable PingAccess to protect multiple application domains and hosts.

Defining virtual hosts

A virtual host is defined by the host name and host port.

You can use a wildcard (*) to define either any host, such as *:443, or any host within a domain, such as *.example.com.

If a request matches more than one virtual host, PingAccess uses the most specific match.

Assigning certificates

Virtual hosts can present different certificates on a single HTTPS port. You can assign which certificates (key pairs) are used by which virtual host from the HTTPS Listeners window.

If you configure a trusted certificate group for a virtual host, or configure an engine key pair to associate it with a virtual host, those settings override any applicable HTTPS listeners or engine listeners for the virtual host.

Controlling agent resources

You can use the Agent Resource Cache TTL field to control PingAccess agent resources for each virtual host.
