Web application bridge
The web application bridge uses reverse proxy technology to integrate web-based content providers, such as the Microsoft SharePoint server, with IBM® WebSphere® Portal. Administrators create content provider profiles, policies, and web dock applications. Authors add the applications to a page without requiring direct network access to the backend application. A special engine maps Uniform Resource Identifier (URIs) on the iFrame portlet to real URIs from the content providers.
The administrator completes the following steps
to prepare the web application bridge:
- The system administrator creates the content provider profiles.
- The system administrator creates at least one policy for each content provider profile.
- The system administrator creates the web dock application.
- The content author creates a page or edits an existing page.
- The content author adds the appropriate web dock portlet to their page.
The content author completes the following steps
to use the web application bridge:
- Create or edit a page.
- Add the appropriate web dock portlet to the page.
