I have viewed the security eventlog on the IIS box, and it is Kerberos in both scenarios.
#Web application proxy vs reverse proxy full
It seems Web Application Proxy is the only scenario where the application ends up seeing the full UPN.
#Web application proxy vs reverse proxy windows 7
This was with 32-bit IE 11 on 64-bit Windows 7 Ent. I logged in by typing someguy, and DOMAIN\someguy - in all cases the application
#Web application proxy vs reverse proxy manual
With this configuration, I get the manual login prompt, but the application sees me as someguy (bare username) regardless of what I type into the login prompt. Please try navigating to IE -> Internet Options -> Security Settings -> Local Intranet Zone -> User Authentication -> Logon, set it to Prompt for username and password. Perhaps this is related to the settings in IE. I can't seem to get my Firefox to do Kerberos, so I wasn't able to test with internal Firefox. What kind of username(someguy does the Application see for internal users when you use other browsers(chrome, firefox).įor internal Chrome, the application sees me as someguy (bare username). How can I configure WAP and/or IE and/or IIS so that the application receives the username in the same format for both WAP users and internal IE users? A reverse proxy accepts requests from external clients on behalf of servers stationed behind it just like what the figure below illustrates. While a forward proxy proxies in behalf of clients (or requesting hosts), a reverse proxy proxies in behalf of servers. They insist that they just take whatever username string IIS provides them. A reverse proxy does the exact opposite of what a forward proxy does. The third-party developer does not want to change their application.
In the application's internal logic treating each scenario as a separate user. For external users, the application sees the username as being the full UPN (e.g. But the application ends up seeing a different username depending on which method the user came in on.įor internal users, the application sees the username as being just the bare username with no prefix or suffix (e.g. In both cases, users get authenticated properly. External clients access it via Web Application Proxy with Kerberos delegation (after signing in to ADFS). Internal domain clients access the IIS box directly from Internet Explorer (automatic signin). A reverse proxy, on the other hand, routes traffic on behalf of multiple servers. For instance, a business may have a proxy that routes and filters employee traffic to the public Internet. The only authentication provider enabled in IIS is "Negotiate." IIS box is Server 2012 R2. Unlike a traditional proxy server, which is used to protect clients, a reverse proxy is used to protect servers.
I have a third-party web application (non-claims-aware) that runs in IIS using Windows Authentication. Originally asked about this on the Windows Server forums, but it was suggested that I might find more relevant expertise here on the IIS forums. You dont actually have to use the WAP server with ADFS, you can use other devices like Citrix NetScalers to reverse proxy the service, alternatively you can NAT your ADFS farm straight to the Internet (not recommended). I'm having an issue with Kerberos authentication behaving differently for external Web Application Proxy users than for internal Internet Explorer users. The Web Application Proxy is just a reverse proxy server role in Windows Server, that happens to work with ADFS.
