Installing Secure Gateway
Overview
Intellisync Mobile Suite Secure Gateway Administrator’s Guide
1–2
Overview
Your company policy may dictate how you deploy Nokia’s technology within
your network configuration. There are several configuration options available;
however, Nokia recommends the configuration described in this chapter using a
demilitarized zone (DMZ), or screened subnet. The DMZ is a computer or small
subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate
private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public Internet.
Recommended Secure Gateway configuration
Nokia recommends using the Secure Gateway configuration within your network.
The Secure Gateway offers secure and scalable communications between mobile
devices and servers and consists of an HTTP listener and communications
services.
The Secure Gateway intercepts the HTTP requests from mobile devices to the
Intellisync Mobile Suite server and can route the requests in three ways:
z
Push requests through TCP/IP port 3102
z
Sync requests through ports 80 and 443
z
Web requests through ports 80 and 443
The following diagram illustrates the recommended configuration for the Secure
Gateway. In this scenario, all Intellisync Mobile Suite components and enterprise
servers are behind the corporate inner firewall.
