The SPS introduces an additional layer in the traditional SiteMinder architecture. This layer forwards or redirects all requests to destination servers in the enterprise. When the SPS processes a request, the URL requested by the user is preserved in an HTTP header variable called SM_PROXYREQUEST. This header may be used by other applications that require the original URL requested by a user before the SPS proxied the request.
The value of the ProxyAgent parameter in the Agent Configuration object must be set to YES to enable sending the SM_PROXYREQUEST HTTP header to the backend.
Note: This header is only added when a request is made for a protected resource.
