Pass-Through Proxy

Content Types Supported Through Pass-Through Proxy

Pass-Through Proxy is a key component of the Content Intermediation Engine that supports various intermediation-sensitive content types with relative links such as Active X, the IBM JVM, and the Oracle JVM.

Determining When to Use the CIE vs. Pass-Through Proxy

Our final recommendation is to test the Web-based content through the Ivanti Connect Secure Content Intermediation Engine. If a page does not display accurately then this document can provide suggestions on how you can alter your code to ensure compatibility with Ivanti Connect Secure.

To summarize, Web applications written in HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, Java, or XML that use the guidelines listed in this document should work seamlessly with the Ivanti Connect Secure Content Intermediation Engine (CIE). Ivanti Connect Secure supports other content types such as Active X through the Pass-Through Proxy feature as long as the content only contains relative links.

The following table lists the Supported Content Types:

Very limited support. If your application does not work, please contact your account team about using Network Connect as an alternative.

* To use partially supported formats, you may need to use the Pass-Through Proxy option. In most cases, Ivanti Connect Secure can intermediate the content, and in the few cases where it cannot, you can easily modify the content to a supportable format. If you cannot modify the content, please contact your account team about using the Secure Application Manager as an alternative.
