Proxy Rules for an MSR Request

The SPS supports the Managed Self Registration services through proxyrules.xml for forwarding the request to the Web Agent (6.x) hosting MSR Servlet. The forwarding is based upon the URI of the incoming request. For example, if the URI begins with /siteminderagent/selfreg, the request is forwarded to the Web Agent hosting MSR Servlet; otherwise, the request is forwarded to the backend server.

An example of a proxy rule for forwarding the password services request is following.

<nete:cond type="uri" criteria="beginswith">
<nete:case value="/siteminderagent/selfreg">
<nete:forward>http://MSR_server.company.com$0</nete:forward>
</nete:case>
<nete:default>
<nete:forward>http://default_backendserver.company.com$0</nete:forward>
</nete:default>
</nete:cond>

MSR_server.company.com stands for the server behind the DMZ on which the Web Agent hosting MSR Servlet is installed, and default_backendserver.company.com stands for destination server.
