  Filters, Firewalls, Caching, and Proxy Servers

   
 

Although WilsonWeb works well with most commonly used filters, firewalls and caching servers, the following specific information is provided to insure the optimal operation of the system.

Caching servers, firewalls, and filters:

For caching servers, firewalls, and filters, the following domain names must be added to the server's list of non-cache pages. This will ensure that a current session number is established and fresh pages are brought to the desktop.

http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/login.jhtml

http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/jumpstart.jhtml

Filtering software requiring domain names:

Resolutions of problems for specific proxy software:

  • Novell Border Manager
    If you use a Novell Border Manager proxy server, one line in your proxy configuration file must be changed from a zero to a one:
    DoNotCacheWhenCookieFound=1

  • Ezproxy
    1) Please enter the following URLs in your firewall (This is requirement of Ezproxy.)
    http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/login.jhtml
    http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/jumpstart.jhtml
     
    2) If you have Ezproxy then it handles cookies by modifying ezproxy.cfg in the following manner:
    EZproxy handles this situation by storing all domain-based cookies directly on the server as part of the user's session information.
    Please also make sure to clear the cookies and the cache

  • Microsoft ISA
    For Microsoft ISA proxy, uncheck the box next to
    Cache objects that have an unspecified last modification time.
     

  • Squid Proxy
    If you have a squid proxy, deny caching on the vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com and hwrelay.hwwilsonweb.com domains.
