Abstract
A system for enabling communication between a first domain and a second domain is disclosed. At least the first domain is protected by a firewall. A first data-processing system is provided in the first domain and a second data-processing system provided in second domain. The second domain hosts an application that the first domain desires to access. To enable the communication between the two domains a tunnel is established through the firewall. The tunnel runs from the first data-processing system to the second data-processing system. The second data-processing system provides a web-proxy interface to interface to the application and also acts as a tunnel gateway.
