Q: I have a commerce site that is behind a proxy server Its internal URL is EVSSD, (which is the computer name) and the external URL is 'www.dev01.mysystems.com'.
The site configuration file, site.csc stores this URL and supplies the URL to subsequent links in navigating the store.
If I specify the URL formatting in Commerce Host Administration for my store as EVSSD, all the store links work only from inside the firewall. When someone who accesses the site from outside the firewall tries to follow a store link, the URL starts off with the internal name of the site (Instead of 'www.dev01.mystsems.com/store', one gets 'evssd/store'. Because the internal name EVSSD is not resolvable, the user gets an error.

How do I specify the URL formatting in Commerce Host Administration for my store so that all store links work as expectedregardless of whether a user accesses the site from inside or outside the proxy server?
A: This is actually an issue with Proxy, not Commerce. You should setup
commerce host admin with the external name 'www.dev01.mysystems.com'
On your internal browsers, do the following:
View | Internet Options | Security | Local Intranet Zone | Add Sites |
Advanced
Put http://www.dev01.mysystems.com and https://www.dev01.mysystems.com into
the list of internal web sites.
After performing these steps, your browser will no longer forward requests
for these sites to the proxy server. Keep in mind that the way your client
determines if a site is internal/external is simply by checking for a '.'
character in the URL. If the URL contains a period, it forwards the request
to the Proxy server even if it is an internal site. By adding the sites to
the exclusion list, you will be able to get to it internally.
