Modification of URLs to junctioned resources

This section discusses the configuration options available to ensure that URL links sent from back-end application servers across standard WebSEAL junctions are reconstructed appropriately for use by clients.

The challenges of URL filtering are specific to standard WebSEAL junctions. WebSEAL also supports virtual hosting and, through virtual host junctions, can eliminate the limitations of URL filtering. WebSEAL uses the HTTP Host header in client requests to direct those requests to the appropriate document spaces located on junctioned servers or on the local machine.
