Integration

Hi,

Looking at the detailed configuration in a reverse proxy rule in SJSWS, I have derived the following conclusions:

1) Where the SJSWS listener has SSL-enabled, reverse proxy works on a HTTPS in, HTTP out basis.
2) Details in the incoming request's SSL header, such as User DN, will be stripped out and remapped into the outgoing request as a custom header, e.g. "Proxy-user-dn".

Can anybody tell me if I have gotten anything wrong above?

We are currently switching over from an Apache/mod_proxy/mod_ssl --> Apache/mod_jk --> Apache Tomcat server setup to a hybrid model where SJSWS is the web server reverse proxying to Tomcat (old apps) and SJSAS (new apps).

My question:
All our apps use the User DN string as the user ID. Previously, we developed a custom module in Apache to read the DN at the Apache level and then rewrite it into the Basic Auth user name header in the outgoing request. The Tomcat webapp will then authenticate the user based on the Basic Auth user name property. Is it possible for me to remap it into something similar here in the SJSWS reverse proxy configuration?

Thanks!
