iPlanet Enterprise Server (NSAPI Web Connector)

If you are using iPlanet Enterprise Server 6.x with the NSAPI Connector, the virtual path mapping is made in the Init line of the iPlanet magnus.conf file. Ensure that the following line appears in the magnus.conf file:

Init fn="req_init" WCSHosts="WCSLIST" ClientPool="5" ConnectorTimeout="600000" WCSPathMap="/crystal;.csp;WCS_INSTALL_ROOT/webcontent,/crystal;.cri;WCS_INSTALL_ROOT/webcontent,/crystal;.rpt;WCS_INSTALL_ROOT/webcontent,/crystal;.cwr;WCS_INSTALL_ROOT/webcontent"

Note:    If you are using iPlanet Enterprise Server 4.1 with the NSAPI Web Connector, this same Init line is located in the iPlanet obj.conf file.

This Init line provides the NSAPI Web Connector module with the instructions necessary for mapping paths correctly. The relevant portions can be broken down as follows:

• WCSHosts="WCSLIST"

  This line defines the Web Component Server(s) that the NSAPI module must communicate with. WCSLIST is a list of one or more WCS hosts, specified as machinename:portnumber (separate multiple entries with semicolons).

• WCSPathMap="/crystal;.csp;WCS_INSTALL_ROOT/webcontent,..."

  The WCSPathMap command maps paths from the web server to the WCS based on file type. The portion quoted here defines how the NSAPI module translates file paths for each Crystal Server Page (.csp file). Any .csp request made to http://webserver/crystal must be mapped relative to the webcontent directory on the WCS. The virtual directory on the web server is specified first (/crystal); the file extension is specified second (.csp); and the absolute path of the Crystal Enterprise web content directory on the Web Component Server is specified last (WCS_INSTALL_ROOT/webcontent).

  Note:    The entries for each mapped file type are separated by commas, but all entries are contained within double-quotes.
