Managing Multiple Reverse Proxies - Novell ACCESS MANAGER 3.1 SP2 - ACCESS GATEWAY GUIDE 2010 Manual

6.3 Managing Multiple Reverse Proxies

Each reverse proxy must have a unique IP address and port combination. If your Access Gateway
has only one IP address, you must select unique port numbers for each additional reverse proxy that
you create. You can configure the Access Gateway to use multiple IP addresses. These addresses can
be configured to use the same network interface card, or if you have installed multiple network
cards, you can assign the IP addresses to different cards.
Access Gateway Appliance: To configure IP addresses and network interface cards, see
Section 2.9.1, "Viewing and Modifying Adapter Settings," on page
Access Gateway Service: You need to use system utilities to configure network interface cards
and new IP addresses. After they are configured, you can use the New IP option to make them
available for Gateway Service configuration. See
the Access Gateway Service," on page
If you are creating more than one reverse proxy, you must select one to be used for authentication.
By default, the first reverse proxy you create is assigned this task. Depending upon your Access
Gateway configuration, you might want to set up one reverse proxy specifically for handling
authentication. The authentication reverse proxy is also used for logout. If you have Web
applications that contain logout options, these options need to be redirected to the Logout URL of
the authentication proxy.
