IIS as reverse proxy

I'm looking into to having IIS doing authentication in an application being executed on a J2EE server (JBoss). Is there any ways to have IIS work as reverse proxy and propagating the username and/or roles of the user the proxied application (JBoss). And also what IIS version would I need, if it's possible? I have license for IIS, so I'd like to do it in IIS, but otherwise I'd prefer open source.

Thanks!

Tomas

Solution

  • It's not open source, but ApplicationRequestRouting for IIS 7.0 can act as a reverse proxy.
