Configuring the Reverse Proxy

If the Siebel REST API, existing Siebel User Interface, and EAI SOAP services are to be exposed on the same domain as the Siebel REST API, then Oracle recommends that you configure a Reverse Proxy Web Server to route requests to the correct backend server.

The Reverse Proxy should route REST API traffic to the Java Web Container (for a single Web Container installation) or to the Apache HTTPD (or any other Load Balancer) configured for load balancing multiple Java Web Containers.

For more information about reverse proxy, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using, Siebel Deployment Planning Guide, and Siebel System Administration Guide.
