IHS as reverse proxy with Domino

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I know that IHS is not officially supported as a reverse proxy for anything else when installed along with Domino 9.0.1 and enabled in front of Domino, but the http.conf seems to indicate that we can add statements to proxy specific urls to other servers. I can’t find any documentation on this as the normal proxy statements don’t work. Has anyone been able to get the bundled IHS to function as a front end to anything other than Domino? If so, any sample config statements would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

server {
listen *:80; ## listen for ipv4
server_name frontendserver;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

forward to the back-end

location / {
proxy_pass http://backendserver http://backendserver;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_connect_timeout 120;
proxy_send_timeout 120;
proxy_read_timeout 180;
}
}

Have a look at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/reqpro/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.reqpro.install_upgrade.doc/topics/w_http.html http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/reqpro/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.reqpro.install_upgrade.doc/topics/w_http.html

IHS is mainly an Apache Httpd, ssl module is different, but you can use nearly all apache modules. Ihs is delivered with mod_proxy and can handle reverse proxy directives.
