SAP Web Dispatcher and other 3rd Party Proxy server options

534 Views

Hello,

I would like to understand the level of security that SAP Web Dispatcher as a proxy running in a DMZ can provide when compared to other commercially available Proxy servers. Our client believes this is the most secure solution for protecting our backend SAP systems against internet intrusion but I would like to review against other available products. According to a wikipedia page, there are many other choices but I can't find a good comparison table that reviews most relevant features needed for security. Examples of web proxy servers include Apache (with mod_proxy or Traffic Server), HAProxy, IIS configured as proxy (e.g., with Application Request Routing), Nginx, Privoxy, Squid, Varnish (reverse proxy only),WinGate, Ziproxy, Tinyproxy, RabbIT4 and Polipo

Please advise.

Thank you.
