5.1 Organization of this chapter

Application Server provides the redirector functionality for Web server integration. A redirector refers to a library provided in the Web container. By registering the redirector in the Web server, you will be able to process a specific requests, from the HTTP requests for the Web server, in the specified Web container and distribute and process the requests in multiple Web containers.

The following table lists the functionality and the corresponding reference sections for each functionality related to the Web server integration:

#: Functionality available only when you use Cosminexus HTTP Server as the Web server. You cannot use this functionality in the case of using Microsoft IIS.

Furthermore, in the case of Web server integration, you can also use the SSL-based authentication and the data encryption functionality of Cosminexus HTTP Server or the SSL-based authentication and the data encryption functionality of Microsoft IIS.

For SSL-based authentication and data encryption in Cosminexus HTTP Server, see 7.2.2 SSL setup with Cosminexus HTTP Server in the manual uCosminexus Application Server Security Management Guide. For details on how to set SSL for Microsoft IIS, see the help of SSL for Microsoft IIS. You can use this functionality only in the Web redirector environment.
