Implementing the Reverse Proxy Filter Mechanism 

The reverse proxy filter enables the portal to modify HTTP responses to requests that are transmitted via a proxy server, and to respond to multiple domain names.

Use Cases

The filter enables the portal to do the following:

·        Modify HTTP responses to requests that are transmitted via a proxy server so that content in the portal that is referenced by absolute URLs becomes available to clients.

·        Work with multiple domain names via several proxy servers.

·        Use aliases for proxy servers in the portal environment.

Manually configure the filter mechanism for proxy servers in the portal landscape.

For more information, see the section Implementing the Reverse Proxy Filter Mechanism for the Portal in Configuring the J2EE Engine Deployment Descriptort at SAP Service Marketplace, service.sap.com/netweaver ® Media Library  ® How-to Guides  ® Portal, KM and Collaboration  ® Portal.

In addition, the guide describes how to create your own filter mechanism for any proxy server, for example, one that is homegrown, using code samples.
