Deploying Siebel Applications Accessed Through a Firewall

This task is part of Siebel Client Deployment Requirements When Using Firewalls or Proxy Servers.

When deploying Siebel applications that are accessed through a firewall, if you are planning to enable compression for traffic between the Siebel Application Interface and the Web browser, then your firewall must support the HTTP 1.1 protocol.

If your firewall does not support HTTP 1.1, then do not set HTTP 1.1-Compliant Firewall / Enable Web Compression to False for the Siebel Application Interface. In addition, disable HTTP 1.1 for proxy connections on each client computer. Follow instructions for your browser for this purpose. For example, for Microsoft Internet Explorer, you uncheck the option Use HTTP 1.1 Through Proxy Connections.
