Enable Office Client Integration for a Reverse Proxy

In most situations, the SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint automatically determines whether Office Client Integration is allowed for a particular SharePoint resource according to the setting in the SharePoint Central Administration UI.

However, if you are using a SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint with a reverse proxy (such as a SiteMinder Secure Proxy Server, or another vendor's reverse proxy solution), add the request URLs to the value of the following Agent Configuration parameter for your reverse proxy server:

SPClientIntegration

Specifies a list of protected SharePoint resources where Office Client Integration is enabled. In most situations, the settings for this parameter are determined automatically from the setting in the SharePoint Central Administration UI.Each URL in this parameter requires a port number (even for a default port such as 80 or 443).

If you are protecting your SharePoint resources using the SiteMinder Secure Proxy Server or an Apache Reverse Proxy server, add the request URLs to this parameter manually. For deployments of the Agent for SharePoint on a Reverse Proxy server, the port numbers are not required.

Example: host_name:port_number

Limits: Port numbers required for typical Agents. Omit port numbers for reverse proxy deployments.

To enable office client integration with a reverse proxy solution, add the request URLs to the value of the SPClientIntegration parameter for your reverse proxy server.
