Allowing Clients to Check IP Address

To maintain your network’s security, your client might 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. The proxy server will attach the IP address in a header. Once the client knows the IP address of the origin server, the client can explicitly specify that the same IP address be used for future connections.

To Check the Java IP Address

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

2. Click the Check Java IP Address link.

   The Check Java IP Address page is displayed.

4. 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. The general template has a shorter, matching regular expression to determine whether Java IP address checking should be enabled or disabled.
