4.4.3.2 Configuring Reverse Proxy with Link Replacement for Intranet Websites and Web Apps

With Thinfinity® Workspace, intranet websites and web apps can be published by creating Application Access Profiles. These allow users to securely access intranet websites and web apps from their preferred browser.

To configure a reverse proxy with link replacement for your intranet websites and web apps:

1

Start the Access Profile Wizard

In Thinfinity Workspace home page click on New Profile.

2

Select an Access Profile Type

In the first screen of the Access Profile Wizard select Application and click Next.

3

Choose the Application Type

In the next step of the wizard choose the WebApp type for the application connection, then click Next.

4

Set up the Web Application Gateway as a Reverse Proxy with Link replacement

Fill in the URL of the Gateway, the start page of your intranet website or web app. From the Mode field select Reverse Proxy with link replacement.

Next, select the Agent, Agent Pool or the Broker ID (according to the current deployment configuration).

5

Set the Permissions for the Access profile

Use the available options to add the users who will have access to the new Access Profile then click Next. This step is optional, you can set the permissions at a later moment.

6

Set the Access Profile Name

Type a friendly and descriptive name for the new Access Profile then click Done to publish your intranet website or web app.

7

Configure the Access Profile

The wizard helps define the minimal parameters so that the connection to the final resource can function. Thinfinity Workspace assigns default values for the rest of the parameters of the connection. To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the Access Profile. For details, see WAG Access Profile.

8

Commit the Changes

To implement the defined connection parameters, click Commit.

If you are defining only one profile, you can use Commit right after configuring all the desired parameters.

If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Commit after you have everything in place.
