Configure IDOL Site Admin with a Reverse Proxy
You can use IDOL Site Admin with a reverse proxy over either HTTP(S) or Apache JServ Protocol (AJP).
With a reverse proxy, you can choose to manage authentication for your users, and the reverse proxy allows users to access the IDOL Site Admin application with a default set of user roles, which you can define.
Using a reverse proxy can allow you to:
- add security and protect the identity of your backend services.
- pre-authenticate your users, enabling a single sign-on (SSO) workflow.
- provide SSL termination.
- improve performance by adding compression or caching.
The following sections describe how to configure IDOL Site Admin to use a reverse proxy, and how to configure various types of reverse proxy.
