Configuring a Web Server as a Reverse Proxy Server

When a user attempts to login to CA Access Control Enterprise Management, RSA SecurID intercepts the request and prompts the user for a valid SecurID user name and password. The Web server you installed acts as a reverse proxy server that receives login requests from the RSA Authentication Web agent on the Enterprise Management Server and forwards the requests to the RSA Authentication Manager.

A reverse proxy is a gateway for other servers that enables one web server to provide content from another.
