IIS configuration with Weblogic 10gR3

Question

Hi All,
We are using IIS 6.0 as the proxy server in our portal application. The portal server is Weblogic 10gR3. I have followed some documents to configure it. (http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs103
/plugins/isapi.html). But I am not able to configure that. Can any body help me in configuring IIS server as a proxy server.
Thanks & Regrads

Answer 1

Configure IIS Plug-in with Weblogic Server
1. Make a directory on the IIS box for the plug-in.
For instance: c:\Inetpub\WLS_IIS_Plugin\
2. Copy iisforward.dll and iisproxy.dll to this new directory.
These files are located at:
10.0: \wlserver_10.0\server\plugin\win\32
10.3: \wlserver_10.3\server\plugin\win\32
3. To install iisforward.dll as an ISAPI filter, do the following:
Go to Start->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services
(IIS) Manager
In the left pane, drill down to the active website
(like "Default Web Site")
Right-click the active website and select Properties
Select the ISAPI Filters tab and press the Add button
Filter name: WLS IIS Plugin
Or whatever you want
Executable: C:\Inetpub\WLS_IIS_Plugin\iisforward.dll
Or whatever path you created
Press OK twice
IIS6 does not allow the iisforward.dll ISAPI Extension to run by default.
To enable:
In the left pane of the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager,
click on Web Service Extension (located under the computer name)
In the right pane, highlight All Unknown ISAPI Extensions and press
the Allow button
4. To map .wlforward to use iisproxy.dll, do the following:
a. In the left pane, drill down to the active website (like
"Default Web Site")
b. Right-click the active website and select Properties
c. Select Home Directory tab
d. Click the Configuration... button.
e. In the Application Mapping tab, click the Add... button.
a. Executable: C:\Inetpub\WLS_IIS_Plugin\iisproxy.dll
b. Extension: .wlforward
f. Uncheck Verify that file exists
g. IMPORTANT: Ensure .wlforward is not mapped to iisforward.dll.
While this seems intuitive, it is wrong. .wlforward maps to
iisproxy.dll.
h. Press OK three times
i. Exit the IIS Manager MMC console.
5. Create a text file named iisproxy.ini and place it in the plug-in
directory (e.g. c:\Inetpub\WLS_IIS_Plugin\iisproxy.ini)
iisproxy.ini
WebLogicCluster=localhost:7001,localhost:7003
WlForwardPath=/
Debug=ALL
DebugConfigInfo=ON
WLLogFile=c:/temp/iisproxy.log
6. Restart IIS using the following CLI statement: iisreset /restart
7. Use a browser to access IIS. This will 'turn on' the IIS->WLS
ISAPI filter.
8. Relaunch the IIS Manager and check the ISAPI filter tab to ensure
the iisforward.dll is now 'turned on', as evidenced by a green arrow.
