.Net web application behind a WebSeal reverse proxy


We are currently designing a solution that will run as a .Net Web application behind a WebSeal reverse proxy.

I have seen some comments on the net where people have had various problems with this, for example rewriting of viewstate.

Question is: Has anyone implemented this combination of techologies and got it to work?


Solution

  • I initially has some issues with the ASP.Net app when accessed through WebSeal. I was running the site on a development server. What worked for me was to deploy the application with debugging turned off in the config file.

    <compilation debug="false" ...>
    

    With debugging turned on, there were some AJAX calls that would work fine when I accessed the site directly but would fail when access through WebSeal. Once I turned the debugging off, everything work fine.

    Also, because WebSeal requires anonymous authentication, we couldn't have used Windows Authentication.
