This page describes a reference implementation for an Apache proxy server running https behind a firewall which manages connections to an EASA Server and two EASAP (or historically 'JSF') Servers. This example is for linux but is directly applicable for Apache on Windows.

• configuration involves two parts
  1. Apache Linux server (UApache) configuration
     • our example
       • is running https listening on ports 8443, 8081, 8082
       • with machine name uapache
  2. EASAP (or 'JSF') Server configuration
     • for EASA machines
       • running http listening on port 8080
       • with machine names
         • easaservername
         • jsf1servername
         • jsf2servername

An Author or User will only interact with the Apache proxy server.

Settings in an httpd.conf file or equivalent.
