Reverse Proxy - Windchill 12.1

Trying to setup reverse proxy with the requirement that internal users will  point to Internal Apache server ( https://test.pdmlink.group) and external users will point to Apache installed in Reverse Proxy server (https://reverse.pdmlink.group).

After setting up as per the PTC article , when internal user access the application ( test.pdmlink.group) it redirects to reverse.pdmlink.group.

And when external user access the application reverse.pdmlink.group , it shows error the requested URI not found in server. 

How to resolve this?

 

Also when we implement reverse proxy , we cannot use old URL even for internal users?

    I only use a single url for my proxy, however you may need to configure a clustered setup to get two url's. I would be interested in the solution to this.

      If we use single URL , its up to  us to decide which one to use or will it be the reverse proxy URL?

      A simple reverse proxy configuration, you tell Windchill Which URL to use (essentially the proxy). Depending on how you firewall, the base url may or may not still be reachable, but would then still forward to the proxy URL.
