Reverse Proxy
« on: February 09, 2010, 04:52:44 AM »
I am having a very hard time getting a reverse proxy to work which is (what I am told) a basic rewrite. I am running 9.1 code. Can someone tell me how to create a reverse proxy? It needs to direct users from an internal site to an external site.  Thanks.

Could you explain a little more the scenario you are proposing?

We have a Netscaler on our network. We need to be able to proxy connections to an external host IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Basically we trying to do cross-domain scripting.
See the following:
Another solution to the cross-domain scripting issue requires the use of a proxy or virtual
server. This solution was submitted by Claude Ostyn in his white paper, SCORM content
delivery issues: Content from a host other than the LMS host2. In this solution, a virtual
server or proxy can be configured to redirect the HTML Response from the LMS and the
content server. Each server (LMS and content) would physically reside in their
respective domains, but would appear to a browser as being the same server. This
solution may be set up as illustrated in Figure 1.3.3a.
Client Side
Content Server
Web Browser
Domain: abc.com
LMS Server
Domain: xyz.com
Server Side
Proxy Server
Domain: foo.com
API Adapter
SCO
(Content)
Javascript
Figure 1.3.3a: Proxy Server Redirects LMS and Content
It is important to note that the diagram above depicts only one way that this solution may
be deployed. For instance, the LMS server itself could serve as the proxy server and the
additional proxy server illustrated above may not be needed.
