5.4.3.3 Configuring Reverse Proxy for 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 for your intranet websites and web apps:

1

Start the Access Profile Creation Wizard

Click on the New Profile button in the home page or alternatively, click the +Add button from the Access Profiles tab of the Settings menu.

2

Select the Access Profile Type

Select Application and click Next.

3

Choose the Application Type

Select the WebApp type for the application connection, then click Next.

4

Set up the Web Application Gateway as a Reverse Proxy

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

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

5

Set Permissions

Use the available options to add the users who will have access to the new Access Profile. Disable the Allow Anonymous Access option and use the Add button to select the users and/or groups. This step is optional, you can set the permissions at a later moment.

Note

Find users and groups link will only be available when working with Directory Services.

Reference

For details on how to configure access permissions, see Global Access Profiles Parameters, Access Control Settings and Labels.

6

Set the Access Profile Name

Enter a 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 guides you through the essential settings required for the connection to the target resource. 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.
