Setting Up Proxy Server to Accept Traffic

TylerWaring — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:17:37 GMT

Greetings,
I have been struggling to get a JavaSript editing application up and running. I am unable to get the editing functionality to work because I cannot get the proxy.ashx file to cooperate with my ArcGIS Server proxy server. My proxy page will communicate with literally every other site on the www without a problem. However it will not recognize any of the services on our proxy server. I spoke with an ESRI Analyst, and we were both baffled. Finally we determined that it was no fault of the proxy page but rather our proxy server has a security setting that was preventing it from receiving traffic from the proxy page. Is there a permission that needs to be set on the proxy server to accept traffic from a proxy page? Has anyone ever dealt with an issue like this before?

Thanks,
Tyler

I don't know what your networking configuration is but I can think of two reasons why this would be off the top of my head:

1) Firewalls. You may have firewalls between your proxy page and the proxy server that are blocking traffic between the two. You could also have a local firewall on the ArcGIS proxy server that is blocking inbound requests.

2) Network configuration. You may have a network configuration where only "approved" traffic is routed and everything else goes into the bit bucket. This one you'd need to check with your local network analysts.

Good Luck!

Tyler:
I'll be curious to see what fixes the problem?

You may also need to open up some ports so the Servers can communicate.

The ashx proxy is designed to be hosted on a IIS web server. Using IIS tools you need to "convert it to an application". Next if your organization requires all web traffic to be routed through a proxy, ask your System Admin for the URL of the proxy and ask him / her what is the name of the proxy technology you've deployed in your organization. You may just need to add the proxy URL back to your Internet options on your ashx proxy server machine. If you get more details on your organization's proxy and contine to have problems, please contact our Support office with updates.

All of the troubleshooting options on this thread are good.
