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.
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.
