Question

Configure Windchill 10.2 behind a reverse proxy

Hi folks,

 

We're starting our attempt to setup a reverse proxy solution with our windchill 10.2 / 11 envorments .   Does anyone have any pointers or experience setting this up with PING?

I've glanced through the advanced configuration guide but looks to be a bit vague.    It appears I need to pass on the REMOTE_USER header value over to my windchill application.  If you have any steps, configuration examples, etc it would be quite helpful as this is our first attempt on this and we do not have experience in this area so we're trying to figure it out.

Architecture would look something like this:

client > reverse proxy load balancer > reverse proxy > windchill load balancer > application server

Hi James,

 

Please refer to the below article:

https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS68466&art_lang=en&posno=1&q=reverse%20proxy&source=search

 

It will be great if it helps you resolving the issue.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Irfan

Hi Irfan,

 

I see two sections within the CS. 

 

1) configuring windchill

2) configuring apache for RP

I do not own the reverse proxy solution (it is already available) so I need to bolt up Windchill to it.  In context of the CS you've provided, only section 1 of the CS would apply?

Hi Jon,

 

If Apache is already configured with Reverse proxy then you can follow the steps in section 1 (To configure Windchill for an HTTP Reverse proxy ).

I suggest you to take backup of the files prior to making any changes.

Irfan
