Allowing Clients to Check IP Address

To maintain your network’s security, your client may have a feature that restricts access to only certain IP addresses. So that your clients can use this feature, the proxy server provides support for checking Java IP Address. This support enables your clients to query the proxy server for the IP address used to retrieve a resource. When this feature is enabled, a client can request that the proxy server send the IP address of the origin server, and the proxy server will attach the IP address in a header. Once the client knows the IP address of the origin server, it can explicitly specify that the same IP address be used for future connections.

To check the Java IP address

Steps

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

2. Click the Check Java IP Address link. The Check Java IP Address 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. Select the radio button to either enable, disable or use the default configuration for Java IP address checking.

   Note –

   The default option uses a derived default configuration from a more general template (that is, one with a shorter, matching regular expression) to determine whether Java IP address checking should be enabled or disabled.
