Web Proxy Server - Cache Windows Updates

I''ve just installed Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.9 on our Network, but I'm having a hard time getting it to cache Windows updates.
Any help?

And here is the obj.conf file:
I would like it to cache as most as possible, inlculding windows updates.

  • Web Proxy Server on Windows 2003

    Hello,
    We presently run iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 SP2 on Windows 2000.
    We would like to upgrade to v3.6 SP6 (the latest), but cannot seem to get it working on Windows Server 2003.
    Is it supported on Windows 2003 ? Has anyone got it working on Windows 2003 ?
    regards,
    Mark Lawrence

    More information.
    The exact problem is that when we try to go to the Admin page http://localhost:8000 we are prompted for login, but then we get "there has been an internal error"
    In the event log we get "Faulting application index.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.3790.0, fault address 0x0002d3bd.

  • Can i setup a secure reverse proxy using sun one web proxy server and windows 2000?

    I've tried this on IPlanet Proxy 3.6 and, after reading the documentation, realized that SSL is not supported on the Windows platform. So I'm asking if it is supported using Sun One Web Proxy Server

    Hi,
    Yes, What you say is right.
    "The NT and Windows 2000 versions of iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 do not support SSL".
    Sun One Web Proxy Server is as same as iPlanet webproxy server.
    May be in future relase of proxy server SSL will be supported in Win2000.

  • IPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 and emptying out the cache.

    Hello.
    I'm wanting to empty out our proxy server's cache in an attempt to resolve one of our users help desk problems - a web site they are accessing is not loading correctly when going through the proxy server, bypassing the proxy server works.
    The problem is that the technician who implemented our iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 has left the company and no one else is aware of how to do this. Can anyone advise of what has to be done to achieve it? Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Jimmey.

    Hi
    This as per the HTTP/1.1 RFC (RFC2616)
    The Connection general-header field allows the sender to specify options that are desired for that particular connection and MUST NOT be communicated by proxies over further connections.
    The Connection header has the following grammar:
    Connection = "Connection" ":" 1#(connection-token)
    connection-token = token
    HTTP/1.1 proxies MUST parse the Connection header field before a message is forwarded and, for each connection-token in this field, remove any header field(s) from the message with the same name as the connection-token. Connection options are signaled by the presence of a connection-token in the Connection header field, not by any corresponding additional header field(s), since the additional header field may not be sent if there are no parameters associated with that connection option.
    Read the following at
    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1.3
    and
    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.10

  • How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

    Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
    I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
    the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
    around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server. 
    So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
    tools.
    Regards
    tschaena

    As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
    In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
    a) proxy server
    b) proxy port
    c) proxy user
    d) proxy users-password
    e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
    And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
    a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
    b) OR who inherits this information from whom    i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
    I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
    But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
    or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
    Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
    environment value. But at least, it works.

  • Sun Java System Web Proxy Server (4.0.2) - manage server will not start

    In short here's the scenario and main problem.   
    a. Proxy admin server start - no problem
    b. Create a new manage server (no proxying - just testing it) using different port. It just won't start. No logs produced either.
    Here's the server.xml for the new manage server.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes. This is really odd.
    Anyway to make the whole story short, i uninstall this proxy server 4.0.2 on this server (say server1) and try to reinstall a new proxy 4.0.13 but having odd problem (i have administration rights)
    Here it goes.
    a. CMD java -version is 1.4.2_XX
    b. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe - nothing happen.
    c. CMD setup --javahome c:\jdk1.6_XX - nothing happen
    Here retrying.
    a. Login to server2 and map conection to server1
    b. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe on server1 (while on server2) - setup.exe runs. This proves the proxy setup.exe on server1 is good.
    c. Make a copy of proxy 4.0.13 on server2
    d. Login to server1 and map connection to server2
    e. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe on server2 (while on server1) - setup.exe did not run.
    Both servers are on the same domain and i'm using same ID to access both servers
    Again, no logs on the windows events (security, application, system)
    This is becoming mind a boggling mystery.
    Any idea what's going on?
    Thanks.

  • Web Proxy Server 4.0.6 released

    Web Proxy Server 4.0.6 has been released and is available for download.
    http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4701e042
    All users of Web Proxy Server 4.0.x are encouraged to update.

    We have migrated several reverse and acl proxy from 3.6 to 4.0.6 and have hit a few issues. If anyone has encountered these we would appriate input.
    First, we thought we had caching disabled in the GUI but the server.xml still have it set to "true" in the FILECAHE entry. Will changing the entry to "false" totally disable chaching?
    When we started the migrated proxy instances the server hit memory issues with swap being eaten up very quickly.
    Second issue is MaxProcs in the magnus.conf. In 3.6 MaxProcs set the number of processes to start and it now for determening the number of processors in the server for threading. We are currently on a server with 6 processors. Should MaxProcs be set to six?
    We will be migrating to Solaris 10 and then to a T2000 so we assume the setting will have to change for each of those migigrations.
    The third issue is, has anyone run 3.6 on Solaris 10 and then migrated to 4.0 later? Sun site shows 3.6 not tested on Solaris 10 but I am sure some one has tried it.

  • Web Proxy Server 4.0.5 Released

    We are delighted to announce the availability of Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.5:

  • Why doesn't Sun ONE Web Proxy Server support full replication?

    Sun believes caching on-demand is a much more appropriate model for either the World Wide Web or an intranet. Common indexes should be distributed, but data can (and should) be stored wherever is most appropriate on the network. If Proxy Servers are deployed, there will be a 50 percent to 75 percent chance that the document will be cached locally and no chance of getting stale data.
    Sun ONE Web Proxy Server uses sophisticated statistical analysis to store the documents most likely to be needed. It also manages document expiry and version control, and by default checks the home server every time a document is requested. Full replication like that performed by other softwares presumes that each document needs to be fully replicated on every server. (Imagine doing that on the Web!) This model limits the scalability of the infrastructure, and requires many more servers, more hardware, and more management complexity. More importantly, it increases the likelihood of getting stale data. A document checked in at one location may take a day or more to be fully replicated around the world.

    If you have a support contract, get in touch with a support engineer. We've run into a bug related to following referrals in the "off-the-shelf" version of the proxy server. I believe there is a hotfix that solves the issue.

  • Web Proxy Server Load Balancing

    I deployed Sun Jave Web Proxy Server 4.0 as a Reverse Proxy. I would also like to use it as a load balancer. As per the instructions, I configured the obj.conf file as shown below
    Route fn="set-origin-server" server="https://xx.xx.xx.xx" server="https:yy.yy.yy.yy" sticky-cookie="JSESSIONID" sticky-param="jsessionid" route-hdr="Proxy-jroute" route-cookie="JROUTE" rewrite-host="true" rewrite-location="true" rewrite-content-location="true"
    But, it is not doing load balancing. It always sends to the first server (xx.xx.xx.xx). I guess that is because I used mapping as follows:
    NameTrans fn="reverse-map" from="https:xx.xx.xx.xx" to="https://server.net" rewrite-location="true" rewrite-content-location="true"
    NameTrans fn="redirect" from="http://server" url="https://xx.xx.xx.xx"
    NameTrans fn="map" from="https://server" to="https://xx.xx.xx.xx" rewrite-host="true" name="pa-server-farm1" NameTrans fn="map" from="/" to="https://xx.xx.xx.xx" rewrite-host="true" name="pa-server-farm1"PathCheck fn="url-check"ObjectType fn="block-ip"
    ObjectType fn="cache-enable" cache-auth="1" cache-https="1" query-maxlen="0" min-size="0" Service fn="proxy-retrieve"
    I don't understand how routing and mapping work togother. Any help in this regard is appreciated.

    Motor,
    the following is from the Web Proxy Sever Administration guide. Please, check the last paragraph for the explanation. Any how, the problem is simple. I am using the Proxy Server as the Reverse proxy. And at the same time, I would like to use two origin servers (for load balancing) instead of one. How do I make both load balancing and reverse proxy functions work together?
    Thanks
    To Create Regular or Reverse Mapping
    Access the Server Manager, and click the URLs tab.
    Click the Create Mapping link.
    The Create Mapping page is displayed.
    In the page that appears, provide the source prefix and source destination for the regular mapping,
    for example,
    Source prefix: http://proxy.site.com
    Source destination: http://http.site.com/
    Click OK.
    Return to the page and create the reverse mapping, for example,
    Reverse mapping:
    Source prefix: http://http.site.com/
    Source destination: http://proxy.site.com/
    To make the change, click OK.
    Once you click the OK button, the proxy server adds one or more additional mappings. To see the mappings, click the lView/Edit Mappings link. Additional mappings would be in the following format:
    from: /
    to: http://http.site.com/
    These additional automatic mappings are for users who connect to the reverse proxy as a normal server. The first mapping is to catch users connecting to the reverse proxy as a regular proxy. The �/� mapping is added only if the user doesn't change the contents of the Map Source Prefix text box provided automatically by the Administration GUI. Depending on the setup, usually the second mapping is the only one required, but the extra mapping does not cause problems in the proxy.

  • How would a corporation deploy Sun ONE Web Proxy Server?

    A corporation should deploy Sun ONE Web Proxy Server at the following key places:
    * The Internet gateway: Sun ONE Web Proxy Server deployed just behind the firewall facilitates access to the Internet and reduces response times and communications expense.
    * Major sub-network connections: Marketing, Sales, Product Development, Human Resources, and Finance departments might have their own subnetworks. An Sun ONE Web Proxy Server deployed at each subnet can reduce traffic on the corporate backbone.
    * Remote offices that are disconnected from the internal network: Sun ONE Web Proxy Server can provide a quick mechanism for replicating content when necessary, providing better company integration and increasing network performance without large capital and communications expense.
    * Internationally: Outside the United States, communications bandwidth is typically much more expensive, making Sun ONE Web Proxy Servers even more cost effective. Every international office can make use of an Sun ONE Web Proxy Server.
    * Outside the firewall as a Web server substitute in reverse proxy configuration: This protects information on the secure Web server behind the firewall and offers load balancing via caching.

  • Configuring authentication in web proxy server

    We are using iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 on WindowsNT 4.0
    After installation of iplanet web proxy server 3.6, and making a request for internet access through browser it does not ask for authentication. There is no pop up window received for user name password to authenticate users.
    Upon creating a group and then adding a few members (user1,user2,user3 etc.) to it, we configure rules to restrict user access to internet in the Global settings tab. After saving all the configuration and taking a restart of the proxy server, when we try to log on to internet from a
    different client machine (browser) using an existing user id and password, it does not prompt us for user name and password even though the option "restrict access" in global setting is properly set.
    My first question......
    =>DOES iPlanet Web Proxy allow for such authentication pop up ??
    => If Yes, then kindly let us know where we have gone wrong in configuring the server.
    We are NOT using any webserver or LDAP to authenticate users. No SSL is enabled.
    Please suggest.

  • Does Sun ONE Web Proxy Server have built-in log analysis tools? What kind o

    Sun ONE Web Proxy Server automatically logs all requests using either the common log-file format or an extended log-file format. The extended log-file format includes the referrer field and user agent. You can also create your own log file format by selecting which HTTP fields you would like to log. A built-in log analysis program includes reports such as total number of requests, total bytes transfered, most commmon URLs requested, most common IP addresses making requests, performance during peak periods, cache hit rates, and estimated response time reduction. The items logged and the analysis program are completely configurable using the server manager's HTML form.

    Sun Java System Web Server is a web server; it serves web pages to web clients. Sun Java System Web Proxy Server, on the other hand, is a web proxy server; it routes requests/responses between web servers and web clients.
    You can configure Web Server to act as a simple reverse proxy by installing the Web Server 6.1 Reverse Proxy Plugin. This doesn't provide any of the forward proxy or caching proxy functionality found in Web Proxy Server.
    Both Web Server 6.1 and Web Proxy Server 4.0 are supported on Solaris 10.

  • Bug Report: JSSE 1.0.2 & iPlanet-Web-Proxy-Server/3.6

    When tunneling through iPlanet-Web-Proxy-Server/3.6 we get a "Socket Closed" exception during the handshake (right after overlaying the tunnel). I got this problem with HP-UX. My browser works fine with that proxy so the problem isn't the proxy. And my code works fine with every other proxies. This proxy does return HTTP 1.0 so this well known issue isn't related.
    Anyone from Sun can confirm this issue ?
    Anyone else got this bug ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi all,
    When you say tunnelling, are you referring to code similiar to the code in JavaWorld Tip 111?
    I am currently trying to debug some issues with that code myself. I get similiar errors when tunnelling through a proxy.
    The download works correctly when a HttpsURLConnection is used to connect directly to the same site.
    I am using a squid-cache as my test proxy, so I am not sure if the proxy is the problem. (assuming we are talking about the same issue)
    I have noticed that a V3 site certificate seems to be more likely to fail though. I have not found a site using a V1 certificate where the tunnelling has failed.
    We are also discussing what I think is the same issue in the thread "HTTPS tunneling and V3 certificates".
    I have been trying to get this stuff working for a few months now.
