ProcedureTo enable proxying for a resource

Steps
  1. Access the Server Manager and click the Routing tab.

  2. Click the Enable/Disable Proxying link. The Enable/Disable Proxying page displays.

  3. Select the resource from the drop-down list or click the Regular Expression button, enter a regular expression and click OK.

  4. You can choose a default setting for the resource you specified. You can choose not to proxy that resource (disable proxying), or you can enable proxying of that resource. The following options are available:

    • Use Default Setting Derived From A More General Resource. The settings for a more general resource that includes this one will be used for this resource.

    • Do Not Proxy This Resource. This resource cannot be reached through the proxy.

    • Enable Proxying Of This Resource. The proxy lets clients access this resource (provided they pass the other security and authorization checks). When you enable proxying for a resource, all methods are enabled. The read methods, including GET, HEAD, INDEX, POST, and CONNECT for SSL tunneling, and the write methods, including PUT, MKDIR, RMDIR, MOVE, and DELETE, are all enabled for that resource. Barring any other security checks, clients all have read and write access.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Click Restart Required. The Apply Changes page displays.

  7. Click the Restart Proxy Server button to apply the changes.
