Identifying reverse proxies
Various reverse proxy servers can be used in combination with Content Manager. Using reverse proxy servers may result in connection problems to the Content Manager repository. You can check the BASEURL to verify that it is not causing any problem in your internet browser.
When you identify reverse proxy servers, verify that the following URLs do not cause any problems in the internet browser:
- BASEURL/ISHWS/Application.asmx?wsdl
- BASEURL/ISHWS/Application.asmx?disco
The BASEURL is specified in the inputparameters.xml file used by the Content Manager installer.
The BASEURL must use the https schema. It must also reference a hostname that is valid for the SSL certificate.
For example if the server has a SSL certificate configured with CN=example.com then the BASEURL must be https://example.com.
Example:
<param name="baseurl">
<currentvalue>https://example.com</currentvalue>
<defaultvalue>https://example.com</defaultvalue>
<validate/>
</param>
Make sure that the URLs are accessible by your users.
