Architecture

The WAF was developed with web application best practices in mind:

  • Web Server - Acts as a gateway to your application server and serves up static files (images, JavaScript, CSS, etc). Also handles routing of data to 1 or more application servers.
  • Application Server - Becomes IdP for your web server. Handles authentication to avoid security risks.
