SPS and SharePoint

Symptom:

When accessing a SharePoint page through the SPS, the SPS always displays the Alternate Access Mapping Connection parameter, no matter how the mode (Forward or Redirect) is set in the proxyrule.xml file.

Solution:

Follow these steps for a solution to this problem:

  1. On the SharePoint server, go to Central Administration, Operation, Alternate Access Mapping. Notice that the Alternate Access Mapping includes a Default Zon Internal URL and a Public URL.
  2. Add one Internal URL with the Public URL set as http://<SPS Host>:port and Default Zone.
  3. Add one more Internal URL Public URL set as http://<SharePoint Host>:port and Default Zone.
  4. Edit the entry for the Intranet zone created in step 3 and specify the Public URL as http://<SPS Host>:port
  5. In the SPS proxyrule.xml file, the backend is an internal URL with a public URL pointing to the SPS host. For example: 
    <!--Proxy Rules-->
<nete:proxyrules xmlns:nete="http://ww.ca.com/">
      <nete:forward>http://SharePointServer with public URL as SPS
           host:port$0</nete:forward>
</nete:proxyrules>
