Customize the WSRP resource proxy

The WSRP resource proxy is used by the WSRP Consumer to load resources that are referenced by remote portlets.

Depending on the environment, it may be necessary to customize the resource proxy behavior with respect to the following aspects:

• SSL settings for secure connections to remote resources

• LTPA token forwarding for single sign-on scenarios

• Proxy server settings for outbound connections

• Support for relative URLs

• HTTP basic authentication for outbound connections

• HTTP headers that are not forwarded.

• Customize the WSRP resource proxy SSL settings
  The WSRP resource proxy uses one SSL configuration for all secure outbound connections.
• Customize the WSRP resource proxy for LTPA token forwarding
  The WSRP resource proxy can forward single sign-on cookies (LTPA, LTPA2) from the client requests to resources in the same single sign-on domain.
• Customize the WSRP resource proxy for proxy server support
  The WSRP resource proxy supports HTTP proxy servers. It can connect directly to remote resources or to a proxy server that forwards the requests to remote resources.
• Disable support for relative URLs for the WSRP resource proxy
  By default, the WSRP resource proxy serves resources relative to the current resource proxy URI. We can disable the support for relative URLs.
• Customize the WSRP resource proxy for basic authentication
  We can customize the WSRP resource proxy for HTTP basic authentication.
• Customize the WSRP resource proxy HTTP header forwarding behavior
  By default, the WSRP resource proxy forwards all HTTP headers from the client request except for the host header and cookie headers. We can define further headers that you do not want to be forwarded.
