Need to hide the real URL in the Page information

[tkreinbring]

I am using IHS 6.1.  I have a reverse proxy set up and it is getting to my backend server.  However, when I do a Snoop, the "Requesting URL" contains the Real Backend Server address.

 

What I need is to have the be the IHS Proxy address.

 

So Example:

 

https://myhttsserver:1234/MyApp    goes to:  https://myappserver:5678/MyApp

 

The URL displayed in the browser is https://myappserver:5678/MyApp, which is good.

 

However, in the Page Properties, the URL is showing as: https://myhttsserver:1234/MyApp

 

Which is bad.

 

How do I tell IHS to mask the URL in the page properties?

 

Thank you,

Todd

You could use frames.

 

To be honest, you need to use Apache mod_proxy.

 

A *lot* of companies block unknown ports such as 1234 and 5678. I know a few companies and they only allow outgoing traffic on 80 and 443.

You can setup apache to act as a front facing webserver on port 80 which will seamlessly pass on requests to another server on a certain port.

Good morning, Thank you for the reply.

 

I am using frames already.

 

So, for mod_proxy, what method am I looking for? 

 

Thank you so much for the support!,

A very basic example can be seen here:
