Configure an Oracle iPlanet 7.0 Reverse Proxy Server

You can use a Oracle iPlanet 7.0 web server as a reverse proxy with CA SiteMinder®.

Note: The CA SiteMinder® Agent Configuration wizard only modifies the default obj.conf file on the Oracle iPlanet (formerly Sun Java System) web server. To protect other instances or reverse proxy deployments with CA SiteMinder®, copy the CA SiteMinder® settings from the default obj.conf file to any respective instance_name-obj.conf files. For example, your web server created an obj.conf file when you installed it, but you later added a server instance named my_server.example.com. To protect resources on my_server.example.com with CA SiteMinder®, copy the CA SiteMinder® settings the wizard added from the obj.conf file to the my_server.example.com-obj.conf file.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the following directive to the instance_name-obj.conf file:

   NameTrans

   Specifies the local and remote virtual paths using the following format:

   NameTrans fn="map" from="local_virtual_path" name="reverse-proxy-/local_virtual_path" to="remote_virtual_path"
   

   Example:

   NameTrans fn="map" from="/realma" name="reverse-proxy-/reamla" to="http://server.example.org/realma/"
   

2. Add the following directives at the end of the obj.conf file:

   Object name

   Specifies the name of the local virtual path and the URL of the remote virtual path used in the NameTrans directive, using the following format:

   <Object name="reverse-proxy-/local_virtual_path">
   Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://remote_server_URL:port"
   </Object>
   

   Example:

   <Object name="reverse-proxy-/realma">
   Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://server.example.org:port"
   </Object>
   

   Object ppath

   Specifies the partial path that is given to the server by the client.

   Example:

   <Object ppath="http:*">
   Service fn="proxy-retrieve" method="*"
   </Object>
   

3. Restart the web server.

   The reverse proxy is configured.
