I am trying to setup IIS (version 8.x, windows 2008) in front of IBM WAS(Liberty Profile) server so that it can route all specific requests to IBM WebSphere application server(Liberty Profile).

I have already installed & configured following items :

  • Installed IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core (Version 8.5.5)
  • Installed IBM MobileFirst Platform Server (Verison 7.1)
  • Installed WebServer Plugins for IBM WAS
  • Installed IBM WebSphere Customization Toolbox (Version 8.5)

I have also deployed one MobileFirst Runtime and it's working totally fine. Now the only step remaining is configuration with IIS.

I am following below link, But could not understand it thoroughly :

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_manualWebIIS.html

As I have installed IBM WAS Liberty Core, It did note come up with any IBM JAVA SDK. Is It required? How can I install IBM Java SDK for IBM WAS Liberty?

I am really lost about what should be the first step.

Edit on 24/09/2015 :

Now all application requests are redirecting to IBM WAS. When I hit, localhost/HelloWorld/apps/services/www/HelloWorld/desktopbrowser/default/index.html, HelloWorld app is working totally fine.

Now the only problem is when I hit /worklightconsole, It is not able to get deployed application and adapters.

My plugin-cfg.xml looks like this :

   </UriGroup>
   <Route ServerCluster="defaultServer_default_node_Cluster" UriGroup="default_host_defaultServer_default_node_Cluster_URIs" VirtualHostGroup="default_host"/>
</Config>

I am getting following errors :

Failed request: /worklightconsole/services/management-apis/1.0/runtimes/HelloWorld/applications

Failed request: /worklightconsole/services/management-apis/1.0/runtimes/HelloWorld

Failed request: /worklightconsole/services/management-apis/1.0/runtimes/HelloWorld/adapters?offset=0&pageSize=15

Any help would be highly appreciated.

You should ask a separate question about where to obtain Java. – covener
Those linked manual steps are not necessary, the WebSphere Configuration Tools sets up IIS to load the WAS Plugin. Those steps are the manual alternative. – covener
Thanks @covener for the inputs. I tried loading the WAS plugin using WebSphere Configuration tool. But In the available profile tab, I am not seeing any profile. I selected - Local Installation of WebSphere Application Server : C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty I am following www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27036087&aid=1 link. Can you please help me with this? – yogesh
try this link it is specific for Liberty Profile www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/… – deadcode
I generated new plugin configuration file in Liberty via jconsole and followed www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/… link, But when I hit localhost/worklightconsole, IIS is throwing me an error HTTP Error 502.4 - Bad Gateway No appropriate server could be found to route the request. – yogesh
