Can IIS interact with Apache

[RajeshBalasunda]

Hello,

We are in the process of setting up Windchill Extranet, which will allow external vendors to have access to Windchill. Information will be shared to ProjectLink. Corporate IT does not support Apache. They support IIS only. We run windchill with Apache. The architecture is, to have a webserver in the DMZ zone which will take the request from the external vendor (https) and pass it on to Windchill (http).

Is it possible to have IIS on the server in the DMZ zone and Apache with Windchill tocomplete the client request from the vendor?

Any inputs on the same is appreciated.



Regards,

Rajesh Balasundaram

You could also switch internal Windchill over to IIS (see info on IIS in SQL Server deployment guide), although I'd recommend staying with Apache if you just need to reverse proxy from IIS instead.
