DESCRIPTION
     The create-iiop-listener command creates an  IIOP  listener.
     This command is supported in remote mode only.

OPTIONS
     -t --terse

         Indicates that any output data  must  be  very  concise,
         typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring
         well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default
         is false.

     -e --echo
         Setting to true will echo the command line statement  on
         the standard output. Default is false.

     -I --interactive

         If set to true (default),  only  the  required  password
         options are prompted.

     -H --host
         The machine name where the domain administration  server
         is running. The default value is localhost.

     -p --port

         The HTTP/S port for administration. This is the port  to
         which  you  should point your browser in order to manage
         the domain. For example, http://localhost:4848.

         The default port number is 4848.

Administration Commands                   create-iiop-listener(1)

     -s --secure

         If set to true, uses SSL/TLS  to  communicate  with  the
         domain administration server.

     -u --user
         The authorized domain administration server  administra-
         tive username.

         If you have authenticated to a domain using the  asadmin
         login  command,  then  you  need  not specify the --user
         option  on  subsequent  operations  to  this  particular
         domain.

     --passwordfile

         The --passwordfile option specifies the name,  including
         the full path, of a file containing the password entries
         in a specific format. The entry for  the  password  must
         have  the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name
         in uppercase letters.

         For example, to specify the domain administration server
         password,  use  an  entry  with  the  following  format:
         AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual
         administrator  password.  Other  passwords  that  can be
         specified        include        AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD,
         AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, and AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD.

         All remote commands must specify the admin  password  to
         authenticate to the domain administration server, either
         through --passwordfile or  asadmin  login,  or  interac-
         tively  on the command prompt. The asadmin login command
         can be used only to  specify  the  admin  password.  For
         other  passwords, that must be specified for remote com-
         mands, use the --passwordfile or enter them at the  com-
         mand prompt.

         If you have authenticated to a domain using the  asadmin
         login command, then you need not specify the admin pass-
         word through the  --passwordfile  option  on  subsequent
         operations  to  this particular domain. However, this is
         applicable only to AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD  option.  You  will
         still  need to provide the other passwords, for example,
         AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, as and when required  by  indivi-
         dual commands, such as update-file-user.

         For security reasons, passwords specified as an environ-
         ment variable will not be read by asadmin.

         The  default  value   for   AS_ADMIN_MASTERPASSWORD   is

     --help

         Displays the help text for the command.

     --listeneraddress
         Either the IP address or  the  hostname  (resolvable  by
         DNS).

     --iiopport

         The IIOP port number. The default value is 1072.

     --securityenabled
         If set to true, the IIOP listener runs SSL. You can turn
         SSL2 or SSL3 ON or OFF and set ciphers using an SSL ele-
         ment. The security setting globally enables or  disables
         SSL  by  making  certificates  available  to  the server
         instance. The default value is false.

     --enabled

         If set to true, the IIOP listener is enabled at runtime.

     --property
         Optional attribute name/value pairs for configuring  the
         IIOP listener.

     --target

         This option is valid only in domains that are configured
         to  support  clusters,  such as domains that are created
         with the cluster  profile  or  the  enterprise  profile.
         Specifies the target for which you are creating the IIOP
         listener. Valid values are

             o    server- Specifies the default  server  instance
                  as the target for creating the listener. server
                  is the  default  server  instance  and  is  the
                  default value for this option.

             o    configuration_name- Specifies a particular con-
                  figuration  as the target for creating the IIOP
                  listener.

             o    cluster_name- Specifies all server instances of
                  a particular cluster as the target for creating
                  the IIOP listener.

             o    stand-alone_instance_name- Specifies a particu-
                  lar  server instance as the target for creating
                  the IIOP listener.

OPERANDS
     listener_id                 A unique identifier for the IIOP
                                 listener to be created.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1 Using the create-iiop-listener command

     The  following  command  creates  an  IIOP  listener   named
     sample_iiop_listener:

       asadmin> create-iiop-listener --user admin
       --passwordfile passwords.txt --host host1 --port 4848
       --listeneraddress 192.168.1.100 --iiopport 1400
       sample_iiop_listener
       Command create-iiop-listener executed successfully.

     Example 2 Using the create-iiop-listener  command  with  the
     target option.

     The  following  command  creates  an  IIOP  listener   named
     iiop_listener_2  for the cluster mycluster. It uses the tar-
     get option. This option is valid only in  domains  that  are
     configured  to  support  clusters,  such as domains that are
     created with the cluster profile or the enterprise profile.

       asadmin> create-iiop-listener --user admin
       --passwordfile passwords.txt --host host1 --port 4848
       --listeneraddress 0.0.0.0 --iiopport 1401
       --target mycluster iiop_listener_2
       Command create-iiop-listener executed successfully.
