Perimeter Web Server

In addition to the installation of the Emptoris HTTP proxy server that is installed through the Emptoris® Strategic Supply Management Installer, you must also install a perimeter web server (PWS) that is outside your firewall and routes all users through this server.

The PWS secures your environment encompassing all Emptoris application and other associated servers.

Configuring the PWS involves forwarding all incoming HTTP traffic to the Emptoris HTTP Proxy web server, also known as the Common Web Server (CWS). To configure the forwarding rules, each application must have its own VirtualHost, except Emptoris Spend Analysis when integrated with Emptoris Sourcing.
