Firewall and Proxy Server or Reverse Proxy Server Requirements

When deploying Siebel CRM across a firewall, make sure that the firewall supports the HTTP 1.1 protocol. Using HTTP 1.0, although it is supported, results in reduced performance. If the firewall or proxy server does not fully support HTTP 1.1, then make sure of the following:

  • HTTP compression is disabled.

  • The firewall proxy is able to handle cookie wrapping or other proxy-specific features that enable cookie handling and forwarding.

  • Headers passed to the Siebel Application Interface do not contain HTTP 1.1 protocol content. You can automate this by setting the proxy server to strip out HTTP 1.1 header content.
