The Application Engine server hosts the Workplace Web application, Workplace Java™ applets, Process Engine applets, and application development tools. Application Engine is the presentation layer for both process and content. A number of different components run on the Application Engine. The sections below discuss how each of these components deals with authentication and single sign-on (SSO) integration.
The Workplace applications include the following Java applets:
The topic Support for Java applets discusses some of the concerns that must be taken into consideration when using Java applets across a reverse proxy server. The Workplace applets address these concerns in the current release.
The Workplace applets exchange XML data with the Application Engine server, and this XML data contains URL references that are not, by default, translated properly by reverse proxy servers. For this reason, some custom configuration work is required to get reverse proxy servers to work properly with the applets.
