Recently implemented proxypass and noticed that although is a nice tool, it also has disadvantages (well at least I found one and wanted to list it here to warn the other SME guys.
The problem I found was:
1. If you install proxypass and put a web based
application behind, it should use session variables rather than cookies for authentication, why?
For some reason I don´t know, apps using cookies based authentication don´t work. They accept the password, but the authentication simply doesn´t work.
After noticing that, asked the programmers to change the model to session variables authentication and voilá, it worked!. This case happened with an IIS server so I don't know if the same would happen with a PHP/Apache application, anyway you are warned.
Finally, is there other disadvantage you would want to mention?
Greetings
Alejandro
