If WebOffice 10 R3 should be available from Internet then the recommended best practice is to use a Reverse Proxy scenario.

 

Reverse Proxies are specially configured Web Servers which

•consume incoming HTTP requests on external domain address and the HTML standard port 80 and

•map those requests (outgoing request) to another internal (LAN) address on a port different to the standard port.

 

Using this internal address the WebOffice 10 R3 application server can be accessed.

 

See figure below (thanks to Esri Inc. for the diagram). Instead of the server machine named ADF Web Server in the diagram you could imagine  WebOffice 10 R3 application server.

 

 

 

WebOffice 10 R3 is right now certified for Apache Reverse Proxy. Apache Reverse Proxy is a free (Open Source), stable and commonly used Reverse Proxy product.

 

Note that Apache Reverse Proxy and WebOffice 10 R3 application need to be configured properly in order to correctly run WebOffice 10 R3 via Reverse Proxy.

 

WebOffice 10 R3 works with Microsoft ISA Server used as Reverse Proxy server as well. You need to use URLs which can be resolved as valid external URLs only then because Microsoft ISA Server is not capable of writing HTTP Header properties.

 

Contact SynerGIS support (web-support@mysynergis.com) if you want to implement the Reverse Proxy scenario but use a different Reverse Proxy product then Apache Reverse Proxy.
