![]() For this example, we use a Linux operating system and assuming SSL configuration for Apache. Perform the steps below to configure an Apache HTTP 2.4 Server to selectively handle some requests and pass others to the application server. Apache and Appian communicate using the AJP13 protocol. When a web server is configured in this manner, it is acting as a reverse-proxy. When the web server encounters a request that it can't handle itself, it passes the request to the application server, returning the application server response to the user. ![]() For instance, it is highly likely that we would want the web server to handle requests for JPG files (images), but not JSP files (dynamic pages). ![]() The web server decides whether to handle a request or not based on the request URL's extension (or some other URL pattern). Due to the potential for negative impact on site performance applying SSL encryption/decryption at the application server level should be tested thoroughly before use in production.
