Access Gateway URI Redirection not resolving to Domain

Issue/Introduction

Proxyrules.xml has been configured with the IP addresses of the backend web servers.  When users request one of these resources via the virtual server, the users are seeing the backend host IP address after the initial request instead of the virtual host name.

Cause

By default Access Gateway will not obscure the backend host address.

Environment

Release: MSPSSO99000-12.8-Single Sign-On-for Business Users-MSP
Component:

Resolution

In the server.conf file, set enableproxypreservehost=yes.  This will preserve the virtual host address when delivering content from backend servers.
