When you need to sign using local smartcards or USB Tokens, then ADSS Signing Server Go>Sign Service is required. Application Request Routing (ARR) is used as alternative of AJP Connector on Proxy Server. Application Request Routing is a feature of IIS that enables you to control Internet traffic using a proxy server.

Consult the following points to configure Application Request Routing services.

Prerequisites

To set up a forward proxy server using ARR, you must have the following:

  • IIS 7.0 or above on Windows 2008 (any SKU) or newer with Tracing role service installed for IIS.
  • Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 3 and dependent modules
  • Minimum of one worker server with working sites and applications.

Install ARR

If Application Request Routing Version 3 has not been installed, it is available for download from “https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=47333”

Install URL Rewrite

Install the URL Rewrite module for IIS through the Server Manager. For more information, see Installing IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
