Configure Reverse Proxy for the Apache Tomcat and IIS Servers

The client can configure reverse proxy on the CMS UI for either the Apache Tomcat or IIS servers.

Configure Reverse Proxy for the Apache Tomcat Server

1. Configure reverse proxy to append header X-Reverse-Proxy with the reverse proxy URL for Apache-server. To do this, open file %apache-home-directory%\conf\httpd.conf (where %apache-home-directory% is the Apache server home directory), and add the following lines:

   LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
   RequestHeader set X-Reverse-Proxy http://srp-server-front-end-url

   Where http://srp-server-front-end-url is the entire reverse proxy’s frontend URL.

2. Restart the Apache Tomcat server.
