Portal Web Server for Internet Clients
If Workflow Manager needs to be accessed over the Internet, it is recommended to set up another Web server, residing in a demilitarized zone (DMZ). This Web server:
- accepts the requests from the Internet clients,
- forwards them to the Workflow Manager Web server,
- gets responses from the Workflow Manager server, and
- forwards them to the clients
You can configure the Workflow Manager Web server to entertain the request only if it is coming from the Portal Web server, and otherwise reject the request. The Portal Web server manages access to the Workflow Manager Web site and ensures that clients are not able to access any data or documents without logging in.
Portal Web Server for Intranet Clients
For better security, and to manage access to the Workflow Manager Web site, it is recommended to also set up a portal Web server for Intranet clients. If you would like to make use of the Single Sign On feature, you are required to install Intranet Portal with NT Authentication mode of IIS directory security (by unselecting Anonymous Authentication and selecting Integrated Windows Authentication).
The system requirements for this machine are the same as for the Workflow Manager Web server (see above).
