Set up proxy chaining for HTTP Server

This topic provides information about how to set up a proxy chain with your HTTP Server and other proxy servers with the IBM Web Administration for i interface.

Configure your HTTP Server for proxy chaining using the Web Administration for i interface. Only the steps necessary to configure a proxy chain are discussed. Before you can configure your HTTP Server for a proxy chain, you must configure your HTTP Server for forward proxy or reverse proxy.

To configure your HTTP Server for a proxy chain, do the following:

1. Click the Manage tab.
2. Click the HTTP Servers subtab.
3. Select your HTTP Server from the Server list.
4. Select Global configuration from the Server area list.
   Note: If you want to configure a proxy chain for a virtual host, select the virtual host from the Server area list. See JKL Toy Company creates virtual hosts on HTTP Server for more information.
5. Expand Server Properties.
6. Click Proxy.
7. Click the Proxy Chaining tab in the form.
8. Click Add under the Remote proxies table.
9. Enter the URL of the remote proxy in the Remote proxy URL column.
   Note: If you are not using the default port 80, include the port number with the remote proxy URL.

   Example: http://www.myserver.com:1975

   Note: For the remote server, only the HTTP protocol is supported. HTTPS and FTP are not supported in the remote proxy URL field.
10. Enter the full or partial URL in the Match requests to forward column.
11. Click Continue.
12. Click OK.
