Proxies
The AlterPath Manager includes a web proxy server so that connections to the
native web interface of any supported device go through the AlterPath
Manager. This feature enables the AlterPath Manager to:
•
Connect users through the AlterPath Manager to remote servers that it
controls (
e.g
., IBM Blade, KVM/net switches, OnSite units, ACS/TS
units, and other servers) in connection with any web interface.
•
Provide a secure mechanism for AlterPath Manager clients to access
remote servers.
•
Configure remote AlterPath devices directly from the AlterPath Manager.
Proxy Types
There are three types of proxy you can configure for a device:
Table 4-4:
Types of Web Proxy
Proxy Type
Function
Reverse Proxy
Reverse proxy allows any web server to be
viewed through the proxy agent. The web server
appears to the user as a subdirectory of the proxy
server’s document tree.
Advantages: Target server does not need to have a
routable IP address; not accessible outside the
AlterPath Manager; user workstation and network
does not need to know about the target web server.
Forward Proxy
without ARP
A forward proxy acts as a gateway for a client’s
browser, sending HTTP requests on the client’s
behalf to the Internet. The proxy protects your
inside network by hiding the client’s actual IP
address and using its own instead. When the
outside HTTP server receives the request, it sees
the request or address as originating from the
proxy server, not from the actual client.
