Complete these steps if one or more SOCKS servers separates the Web Component Adapter (WCA) from the Crystal Management Server (CMS). These steps provide the WCA with the required information about each SOCKS server, in order, from the outermost to the innermost.
The outermost SOCKS server is the one closest to the web server. The innermost SOCKS server is the last SOCKS server that the WCA communicates with before the CMS.
The UNIX version of Crystal Enterprise includes a utility that allows you to configure Crystal Enterprise servers and the WCA to work with SOCKS servers. For details, see sockssetup.sh.
To configure the WCA, you must edit the web.xml deployment descriptor file associated with the webcompadapter.war to insert a SOCKS URI (universal resource identifier). This URI tells your WCA how to contact the CMS through your SOCKS server(s).
The syntax that denotes the CMS through a SOCKS server can be considerably complex. For an example of how to construct a SOCKS URI, see To configure the Web Connector on UNIX.
Then see Configuring the Web Component Adapter for details on editing web.xml.
