Administering proxy support for clients not integrated with TCCS

Not all Siemens Digital Industries Software clients are integrated with TCCS, including Teamcenter Systems Engineering. Consider the following when administering proxy support for clients not integrated with TCCS: Forward proxy support A non-integrated client does not leverage the TCCS ability to send requests using a forward proxy server. Unless the client has its own support for forward proxy, the client must connect directly to any Teamcenter services it requires. A client with its own forward proxy support does not leverage the TCCS proxy configuration and must be separately configured. Note Browser-based clients do not integrate with TCCS but do leverage the browser’s capabilities and configuration. Reverse proxy support A non-integrated client does not leverage the TCCS ability to recognize authentication challenges from a reverse proxy server such as WebSEAL. If the Teamcenter web tier is protected by an authenticating reverse proxy server, the client must have its own support for recognizing and responding to authentication challenges. There is limited support for this recognition and response in some clients, including those based exclusively on the Teamcenter SOA client framework. If only Security Services is protected by an authenticating reverse proxy server, a client does not directly receive authentication challenges from the reverse proxy. The challenges come only to the browser and applet used for TcSS authentication and session management. The browser and applet are capable of responding to these challenges.
