So far you have deployed the gateway web application in the root
context of Jetty on port 8080. Since the gateway is a reverse proxy you must
make sure all traffic from your browser to
http://demo.forgerock.com:8080/wordpress/ goes through the
gateway. The quickest way to do this is to add an entry to your
/etc/hosts file on UNIX systems or
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows. See
Wikipedia for more information on host files. If you are running
OpenIG and the browser on the same host, add this entry to the hosts file on
the OpenIG host.

If you are running the browser and OpenIG on separate hosts, you must add the IP address of the host running OpenIG. For example, if OpenIG is running on a host with IP Address of 10.0.1.5:

Some browsers cache IP address resolutions, even after clearing all
browsing data. It might be necessary to restart the browser if you are
changing IP addresses of named hosts. The simplest way to make sure you have
configured your DNS or host settings properly is to stop OpenIG and
make sure you cannot reach the target application. If you can still reach
it, you should double check your host settings. You should also make sure
your name resolution is configured to check your host files before DNS.
