Setting up IIS as a proxy server

  1. Install the Application Request Routing plug-in. This is available at http://www.iis.net/download/ApplicationRequestRouting
  2. Create a server farm.
  3. Add a server for your grid router with HTTP and HTTPS ports defined to your server farm. Make sure to put the correct FQDN of the SSL certificate for the host in the address field as well as the correct HTTP and HTTPS ports under advanced.
  4. On the Server farm/Proxy, make sure Reverse rewrite host in response headers is selected.
  5. Decide if you want to use SSL offloading and make the correct configuration under Server farm/Routing Rules.
  6. If you are not using SSL offloading, you need to import the Grid/Host SSL to make IIS trust the grid root certificate.
