Reverse Proxy for OIF on iPlanet

Question

hi,
I am trying to implement reverse proxy for OIF r3 Identity Provider on iPlanet.
I configured the obj.conf of iPlanet accordingly.
<Object name="passthrough1">
Service fn="service-passthrough" servers="http://backendIDP.com:80"
Error reason="Bad Gateway" fn="send-error" uri="C:/Sun/WebServer6.1/docs/badgateway.html"
</Object>
<Object Default>
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/fed/" name="passthrough1"
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/fed/*" name="passthrough2"
</Object>
when i tried the IDP initiated proxy url in a browser like (http://proxy.com/fed/idp/initiatesso?providerid=XXXXXXXX&returnurl=YYYY)
immediately its being forwaded to backend Identity Provider for authentication like(http://backendIDP.com/sso/jsp/salogin.jsp?doneURL=/user/loginsso&refID=id-ysJ-7-1PR9k-QI2bg9zZkPdyHPw-)
I was expecting that it is redirected to Proxy URL like (http://proxy.com/sso/jsp/salogin.jsp?doneURL=/user/loginsso&refID=id-ysJ-7-1PR9k-QI2bg9zZkPdyHPw-)
At the end it is giving me null pointer exception instead of return URL "YYYYY"
Does any one know how to fix the error.

Answer 1

web or weblogic.xml files on your RPS needs to define for each case like if inbound port is 7011 then send it to PIA:7011 and http and the same for 7012 then send it to PIA:7012 and https. in the webprofile configuration for your RPS profile, set both https and http relative URLS. I believe you could start using this info and I am sure you could figure out the rest.
