<h1 class="topictitle1">Set up reverse proxy for HTTP Server (powered by Apache)</h1>
<div><p>This topic provides information about how to set up a reverse proxy
for your HTTP Server with the <span>IBM<sup>®</sup> Web Administration for i5/OS™ interface</span>.</p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Information
for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for i5/OS .
It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest
level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are
not available prior to this update. See <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.htm</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> for more information. </div>
<p>Configure your HTTP Server (powered by Apache) for <a href="rzaieproxytypes.htm#reverse">reverse
proxy</a> using the <span>IBM Web Administration for i5/OS interface</span>.
Only the tabs necessary to configure reverse proxy are discussed.</p>
<p>To configure your HTTP Server (powered by Apache) for reverse proxy, do
the following:</p>
<ol><li>Click the <strong>Manage</strong> tab.</li>
<li>Click the <span class="uicontrol">HTTP Servers</span> subtab.</li>
<li>Select your HTTP Server (powered by Apache) from the <strong>Server</strong> list.</li>
<li>Select <strong>Global configuration</strong> from the <strong>Server area</strong> list.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If
you want to configure a reverse proxy for a virtual host, click the virtual
host from the <strong>Server area</strong> menu. See <a href="rzaiejklvirtualhost.htm">JKL Toy Company creates virtual hosts on HTTP Server (powered
by Apache)</a> for more information.</div>
</li>
<li>Expand <strong>Server Properties</strong>.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Proxy</strong>.</li>
<li>Click the <strong>Reverse Proxy</strong> tab in form.</li>
<li>Select <strong>Enabled</strong> from the <strong>Reverse proxy capabilities</strong> list.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add</strong> under the <strong>Proxy request to remote servers</strong> table. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This
table defines what requests will be mapped into the space of the server. The
local server does not act as a proxy in the conventional sense, but appears
as a mirror of the remote server.</div>
</li>
<li>Select <strong>Client requests</strong> from the <strong>Request Type </strong>list. <p>When
this option is used, non-proxy requests matching the URL specified in the <strong>Local
virtual path</strong> column are transformed into proxy requests for the URL specified
in the <strong>Remote server URL</strong> column. The proxy then handles the transformed
request and returns any document (or error messages) the remote server provides.
Clients remain unaware of any transformation.</p>
</li>
<li>Enter the local virtual path in the <strong>Local virtual path</strong> column. <p>If
a non-proxy requests matches the path specified in this column, the non-proxy
request will be transformed into a proxy request for the URL specified in
the <strong>Remote server URL</strong> column.</p>
</li>
<li>Select <strong>Specify URL</strong> from the list in the <strong>Remote server URL</strong> column.</li>
<li>Enter the remote server URL in the <strong>Remote server URL</strong> column.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add</strong> under the <strong>Proxy requests to remote servers</strong> table.</li>
<li>Select <strong>Redirect requests</strong> from the <strong>Request Type</strong> list. <p>When
this option is used for <em>redirected requests</em>, headers in response documents
are adjusted in the event that a "Redirect" is issued by the remote server.
This allows clients to remain unaware of any transformation of the requests
even if remote servers redirect the proxy.</p>
</li>
<li>Enter the path in the <strong>Local virtual path</strong> column. <p>If your server
is given a non-proxy request and the request matches the URL specified in
the <strong>Local virtual path</strong> column, the URL request will be transformed
into a proxy request for the URL specified in the <strong>Remote server URL</strong> column.</p>
</li>
<li>Enter the remote server URL in the <strong>Remoter server URL</strong> column. <p>If
a non-proxy request matches a URL in the <strong>Local virtual path</strong> column,
the request will be transformed in the URL specified in the <strong>Remote server
URL</strong> column. The client will be directed to the remote server URL without
being aware of the redirect.</p>
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Continue</strong>.</li>
<li>Click <strong>OK</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<p>All other options for reverse proxy are optional and allow you to modify
specific reverse proxy capabilities.</p>
<p>After configuring your HTTP Server (powered by Apache) for reverse proxy,
you can configure your server for a <a href="rzaieproxychaining.htm">proxy
chain</a>.</p>
