The Web Proxy component of remote proxy services provides
a secure interface between applications on the LAN and clients on
the Internet. An example of a client is the web collaboration client
of MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing.
Use the following procedure to add the WAN-side host name
of the LAN server you wish to proxy and configure access to its client
and administrative interfaces.
The instructions assume that an external DNS server resolves
your WAN-side host name (for example, “MAS1.mitel.com”) to the corporate
firewall which, in turn, sends HTTP requests to the Web Proxy server.
It is also assumed that MSL is configured to use an internal DNS server
which resolves the LAN-side host name (also “MAS1.mitel.com”) to the
actual server on the LAN.
For more information about the Web Proxy and its uses,
see the MBG Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Note:
- To be proxied successfully, remote users must
enter a valid URL for the resource they are attempting to
access. Refer to the Supported
Applications tab to determine the correct format for administrative
and end-user URLs.
- Effective MBG Release 7.1, the Web Proxy is
included as a component of Remote Proxy Services and is licensed
as part of the MBG base bundle. Upgrades from earlier releases
are covered under Software Assurance.
- The Web Proxy relies on the fully qualified
domain name in the HTTP request to map that request to the
appropriate LAN server. Access via IP address is not supported.
To add a LAN server to the Web Proxy:
- On the MBG main page, under Remote
proxy, click Domain list.
- Click
to add new LAN server proxy.
- Select Enabled.
- In the WAN-side FQDN field, enter the domain name
of the server to which you want to proxy in FQDN format (for example,
“MAS1.mitel.com”). This is the name that external users will enter
in their web browsers to access the LAN host.
Note: The LAN-side host name
defaults to the WAN-side FQDN.
- Select the LAN server and user interface:
LAN server |
User interface |
MiCollab |
- MiCollab: Select to forward MiCollab
client traffic to the web-based communications
portal on the MiCollab server (which will be the
WAN-side FQDN). Note: This selection includes
the required URLs for NuPoint UM on MiCollab.
- MiCollab Client: Select to forward
MiCollab Client traffic (web portal or mobile
portal) to the MiCollab server.
- MiCollab Unified Messaging: Select
to forward NuPoint UM client traffic (web view
or system admin view) to the MiCollab server.
- Deployment Unit: Select to forward
MiCollab Client deployment traffic to the MiCollab
server
- MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing:
Select to forward MiCollab Audio, Web and Video
Conferencing client traffic to the MiCollab server.
Note: Ensure that the Use HTTPS Only setting is
enabled in System Options configuration. Refer
to the Configuring Web Conferencing Settings section
of the MiCollab Audio, Web and
Video Conferencing Configuration and Maintenance
Manual for full instructions.
- Google Calendar Integration to AWV:
Select to forward Google Apps traffic (i.e. traffic
that includes “google” as part of the FQDN in
HTTPS requests) to the MiCollab server.
- Listen port for MiCollab AWV:
- Listen port for MiCollab AWV
(two WAN IPs): For external access to MiCollab
Audio, Web and Video Conferencing in a configuration
with two public IP addresses, enter the default
AWV port, 4443. This is the port that the
Web Proxy listens on for Connection Point
(or Collaboration) traffic. If your MSL network
configuration is deployed in Network-Edge
mode (server-gateway mode) with a second external
IP, the AWV listen port entry is not required.
- Listen port for MiCollab AWV
(one WAN IP): For external access with only
one public IP, MiCollab Audio, Web and Video
Conferencing must be configured with identical
internal and external ports; the recommended
port being 4443. Ensure to have the same port
number entered in this field.
