Proxying to Trusted Sites vs. Non-Trusted Sites

The SPS is assumed to proxy for trusted sites within the enterprise. As part of a proxy transaction, SiteMinder generated HTTP header variables and any variables generated by SiteMinder responses are forwarded along with each HTTP and HTTPS request. These responses can be used by other enterprise applications.

Important! If you employ the SPS in transactions that proxy for content on non-trusted sites, the headers that accompany the transaction will also be forwarded to the non-trusted sites. We recommend using the SPS to proxy for destination servers trusted by your enterprise.
