Identifying reverse proxies

Various reverse proxy servers can be used in combination with SDL LiveContent Architect. Using reverse proxy servers may result in connection problems to the SDL LiveContent Architect repository. You can check the BASEURL to verify that it is not causing a problem in Internet Explorer.

When you identify reverse proxy servers, verify that the following URLs do not cause any problems in Internet Explorer:

  • BASEURL/InfoShareWS/Application.asmx?wsdl
  • BASEURL/InfoShareWS/Application.asmx?disco
The BASEURL is specified in the inputparameters.xml file used by the SDL LiveContent Architect installer. This can be either:
  • A simple URL, such as http://VM14/;
  • A full DNS name indicating SSL usage, such as https://techdoc.world.sld.corp.

For example:


<param name="baseurl">
<currentvalue> https://techdoc.world.sld.corp</currentvalue>
<defaultvalue>http://VM14</defaultvalue>
<validate/>
</param>

Be certain that the URLs are accessible by your users. If you are using HTTPS for the external URL, the URLs listed above must also have an https BASEURL.
