Hi,
I've read the thread SAP Web dispatcher vs Apache and understand that both offer good features some the same some different. SAP Web Dispatcher can do load balancing where Apache can do every but that. But I haven't really seen anyone discuss yet using both in a scenario or anyone using tools which are still maintained to get things like AD authentication.
If your wanting the best of both worlds is it valid to run both or is it a crazy idea? Am I just opening up more holes by doing this or is this more secure?
Lets say like the below pic

Clik here to view.
I figure the scenario would be for above
- A user connects to a website webservice.company.com
- apache checks URL filter
-apache pops up with ad authentication
-apache redirects webservice.company.com to the proper SAP URL that the SAP web dispatcher would want to see
-apache checks URL filer for redirected address
-apache send request to SAP web dispatcher
-SAP web dispatcher looks up URL in filter
-SAP Web dispatcher pops up SAP authentication
-SAP Web dispatcher does its load balancing of request
If this is a valid scenario?
do I have a proper design?
Am I over complicating it?
Would this be less, no more secure or more secure then just running the SAP web dispatcher?
Is there a paid software which will just do it all?
Thanks
C
