ArcGIS Server 10.1 security architecture Single firewall

• Port 80 opened • GIS and data server reside in the secure internal network

ArcGIS Server 10.1 security architecture Multiple firewall

• Port 80 and 6080 • Web adapter acts as reverse proxy • GIS and data server reside in the secure internal network

ArcGIS Server 10.1 security architecture Integrating an existing proxy

• Add your ArcGIS Server site to proxy directives, e.g. apache httpd.conf

- ProxyPass /arcgis http://myserver:6080/arcgis ProxyPassReverse /arcgis http://myserver:6080/arcgis

ArcGIS Server 10.1 security architecture Integrating an existing proxy

• To select your port, install the Web Adaptor on another web server
