Using a reverse proxy server for load balancing

Applies to: On premises

If you are using a reverse proxy server for load balancing, you must add a ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain value to the httpd.conf file on the reverse proxy server.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the load balancer server as a user who has administrative privileges.
  2. Go to the <Apache_Home>\conf\ directory, and open the httpd.conf file in an editor.
  3. Add a ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain value to the file as follows: 
    # Proxy
ProxyPass  /openpages http://<hostname>:<port>/openpages
ProxyPassReverse  /openpages http://<hostname>:<port>/openpages
    ProxyPass  /ibmcognos http://<hostname>:<port>/ibmcognos
ProxyPassReverse  /ibmcognos http://<hostname>:<port>/ibmcognos
    ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain <internal.domain.com>
                  <public.domain.com>
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart the web server.
