GCube secure proxy is a solution to expose unsecure legacy services by using TLS without modifying or reconfiguring them.
Installation and simple configuration
GCube secure proxy is a war file (httpproxy.war) which leverages on Smart Gear facilities. The web application acts as a proxy for a list of URL (Domain Filter) to be defined on the Information System under the considered VRE.
The URL list on the Information System is defined in a Generic Resource with the following features:
- SecondaryType: SecureProxyDomains
- Name: ProxiedDomains
<Body>
<Domains>
<domain>Name of the first URL or Domain</domain>
<domain>Name of the second URL or Domain</domain>
<domain>...</domain>
</Domains>
</Body>
Advanced configuration
The configuration file
domainFilterProperties.properties
in the folder
<war root>/WEB-INF/classes
contains two useful properties, especially for test and debug, concerning the Domain Filter in particular:
- filterEnabled (default false): enabling or disabling the Domain Filter
- defaultForward (default false): if true and the Domain Filter is empty, the request is forwarded
- defaultPeriod (default 60): the period (in seconds) between two consecutive refreshes of the local cache of Domain List
Use
The URL to access a proxied resource is the following:
https://<proxy base URL>/httpproxy/proxy/<proxied resource>
