Configure Apache HTTP Server as Reverse Proxy

Using Apache HTTP Server as Reverse Proxy.

TIBCO API Exchange Gateway supports the Apache HTTP server in reverse proxy mode. You can place the Apache HTTP server in front of the inner firewall accepting the requests from the clients, and forward those requests to TIBCO API Exchange Gateway residing behind the firewall.

The Apache HTTP server can be used as reverse proxy for the following purposes:

  • Provide users access to a server that is behind a firewall.
  • Balance the load among multiple instances of the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway.
  • Bring multiple instances of TIBCO API Exchange Gateway servers into the same URL space.

The Apache HTTP server in reverse proxy mode can be used for both SSL and non-SSL communication.
