Portal proxy

In practical business applications, the services used by the application system may originate from multiple SuperMap iserver and servers from other GIS platform vendors. SuperMap iPortal operates the unified access control of SuperMap iPortal by supporting the registration service proxy configuration for multi-source services at the portal level. Serving as the unified exit of the services, iPortal facilitates the unified use, management and maintenance of multi-source services.

To further secure the portal system, SuperMap iPortal supports reverse proxy. Reverse Proxy means that the proxy server receives the requests from Web client, and then transmits the requests to server of internal network system. It will return the results to the Web client. The proxy server is a server for outside. The client doesn't know other servers, so it can be protected. Please refer to Reverse Proxy for more information.

Next we will introduce how SuperMap iPortal can use the registration service proxy with Nginx reverse proxy.
