Using Web Proxy Server/Web Server Reverse Proxy with Access Manager
807567Jan 28 2009 — edited Jan 30 2009I am trying to configure either a Web Proxy Server or Web Server Reverse Proxy to work with a Web Server that has Access Manager Policy Agent, Load Balancer Plug-in and Dist Auth UI.
When the Web Proxy Server or the Web Server Reverse Proxy try to return pages for any protected resources, on the regular Web Server, it will try to present an Access Manager Login Page. This condition creates a situation where the Proxy does not know what to do and the page just cycles.
I am using Sun Java System Web Proxy Server Version: 4.0.8 B08/22/2008, Sun Java System Web Server 7.0U4 B12/02/2008, Sun Java(TM) System Access Manager7.1 (Thu Jan 18 05:38:56 2007) SunOS with Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_02 (build b04-fcs).
The goal is to have the Users come in through say http://www.example.com/portal/dt=blahblahblah. On the backend, there is a portal that is protected by Access Manager. If the user has not logged in, then they should get a log in screen, then be allowed to get into the portal page(s).
The pages that are not protected, are presented without a hitch, but if a login page has to be presented, then this seems to cause a problem. Has anyone figured out how to get around this problem?
