Auxiliary Applications
This section describes applications that integrate with other SDX components or applications.
Application Server
You need an application server in your SDX environment to use the SDX administration applications that are available through a Web interface. Typically, you should use a J2EE application servers that includes a Web application server
The Web application server should support JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. JSP pages are Web pages that contain Java code and JSP tags (similar to HTML tags) embedded in normal HTML. The Java code and JSP tags produce dynamic HTML content and invoke the SAE functionality.
The SDX software provides the JBoss application server as a convenience to let you quickly set up an SDX environment. This application server is J2EE compliant and supports the J2EE applications that the SDX software offers.
We have tested the SDX software with other application servers. For a list of the application servers that we have tested with the SDX software, see the release notes.
IP FIlter
IP Filter filters traffic as specified by Network Address Translation (NAT) rules and redirects incoming HTTP requests that meets criteria for the filter to the redirect server. The redirect server can then direct this traffic to a captive portal page.
Other Applications
Other companies have created applications for use with the SDX software. For information about applications created by Juniper partners, see
