Configuring Reverse Proxy Servers
4-8 Advanced Topologies for Enterprise Deployments
Figure 4–2 Internet Configuration with Reverse Proxy Server
For this example, let’s assume the following:
■ The published address is www.abc.com.
■ Internal to the firewall, the server name for the Oracle Application Server
middle-tier is internal.company.com. This Application Server middle-tier machine
hosts contains both OracleAS Web Cache, as well as the Oracle HTTP Server.
■ Externally, the server is addressed with the default port 80; however, internally, the
internal.company.com is listening on port 7777.
Information to complete these steps to configure OracleAS Portal for the architecture
shown in Figure 4–1 can be found in Chapter 5 of the Oracle Application Server Portal
Configuration Guide.
