When clients use Internet Explorer and MS office 2007 to
access SharePoint resources protected by Access
Gateway, some requested URLs are not sent to the
correct path-based proxy service.
For example, assume that the SharePoint server is
accelerated by a reverse proxy service https://
sharepoint.CompanyA.com/share1
instead of sending the request URL as
sharepoint.CompanyA.com/share1/_vti_bin/
webs.asmx ., sends the URL as
sharepoint.CompanyA.com/_vti_bin/
webs.asmx , without the path
Access Gateway to serve request to the wrong service.
To workaround this problem, configure the
file with the following information:
.modifyRequestURI
Published DNS name of the proxy service
accelerating the SharePoint server.
URLs that require path injection in the request URL.
Path (or paths) of the SharePoint service under this
proxy service, that must be prepended to the listed
URLs.
An example file looks similar to the following:
HOSTNAME=sharepoint.CompanyA.com
PATH1=/share1
PATH2=/share2
URL1=/_vti_bin/webs.asmx
URL2=/_vti_bin/lists.asmx
URL3=/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx
URL4=/_vti_inf.html
NOTE: If you are adding multiple paths, make sure that
these path-based services belong to the same domain.
When this file is present with the required configuration,
the incoming request URL is compared with the URLs in
the touch file. If a match is found and the host name of
request URL matches the HOSTNAME value, then the
following occurs:
If only one path is configured, the path is injected to
the request, and the request is sent to this path-
based service.
If multiple paths are configured, Access Gateway
looks for the last path-based service accessed by
this user. This path is injected to the request, and the
request is sent to this path-based service.
