IIS as reverse proxy

Question

I'm looking into to having IIS doing authentication in an application being executed on a J2EE server (JBoss). Is there any ways to have IIS work as reverse proxy and propagating the username and/or roles of the user the proxied application (JBoss). And also what IIS version would I need, if it's possible? I have license for IIS, so I'd like to do it in IIS, but otherwise I'd prefer open source.

Thanks!

It's not open source, but ApplicationRequestRouting for IIS 7.0 can act as a reverse proxy.

Microsoft ISA server does that - you may want to look at that first.

IIRF does reverse proxy and URL rewriting for IIS5/6/7.

It's open source, and uses a syntax evry similar to mod_proxy / .htaccess for its rules.

You need v2.0 to get the reverse proxy capability.

IIRF doesn't work for me because of this issue: http://iirf.codeplex.com/workitem/32479 – Peter K. Jan 08 '13 at 04:30
