Any help will be appreciated

Our customer is running WPS 4.2 in an AIX 5.1 box, and WES 5.0 in
another AIX 5.1 box.
He had installed and configured WPS 4.2 previously, and it is working
fine.
Now, he installed WebSphere Edge Server 5.0 (WES) in a separate box,
and he wants to use this box as a reverse proxy for the Portal site.
He configured the proxy server to redirect all requests to the
portal server, and it is working fine except for the Login link:
it is being hardcoded using the portal server hostname.

For example, the WPS server hostname is "portal" and the WES hostname
is "proxy". After configuring the reverse proxy, the customer
uses the following URL in the browser:
http://proxy.domain.com/wps/portal
In the resulting page, all links are correct except the Login link,
which reads:
http://portal.domain.com/wps/portal/.scr/Login

Is it possible to prevent WPS from hardcoding the Login link, so it will
work fine in the reverse proxy scenario?

Do you recommend a different approach for a reverse proxy scenario?

Regards.

Yes, we did it. There is a properties or config file where you can specify
the host and port to use. I can't remember exactly, but the InfoCenter might
help.
