The Webgates for Apache v2 and IHS v2 powered by Apache support reverse proxy capability, if you choose to activate this capability.
The procedures to implement reverse proxy capability differ, depending on your environment:
For reverse proxy functions with Access Manager, you need to include the Apache proxy module in the configure command for the Web server. You also need to load mod_proxy and the mod_proxy_http module into the server dynamically. A reverse proxy is activated using the ProxyPass directive or the [P] flag to the RewriteRule directive.
Reverse proxy capability is activated using the ProxyPass directive or the [P] flag to the RewriteRule directive. It is not necessary to turn ProxyRequests on to configure a reverse proxy. Access control is less critical when using a reverse proxy (ProxyPass directive with ProxyRequests Off), because clients can contact only the hosts that you have specifically configured. You can control access to your proxy using the <Proxy> control block.
