Creating a reverse proxy service for Avaya Aura Web Gateway

Last Updated : Dec 24, 2018 |

Before you begin

Create a reverse proxy policy through the EMS web interface, ensuring that the Allow Web Socket field for the reverse proxy policy is set to Y.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Device Specific Settings > DMZ Services > Relay Services.
  3. On the Reverse Proxy tab, click Add.
  4. On the Add Reverse Proxy Profile page, do the following:
    1. In the Service Name field, type the reverse proxy profile name.
    2. Select the Enabled check box.
    3. In the Listen IP field, click the external IP address of Avaya SBC.
    4. In the Listen Port field, type the port number as 443.
    5. In the Listen Protocol field, click HTTP/HTTPS.
    6. In the Listen TLS Profile field, click the relevant TLS Profile.
    7. In the Server Protocol field, click HTTP/HTTPS.
    8. In the Connect IP field, click the internal IP address of Avaya SBC.
    9. In the Reverse Proxy Policy Profile field, click the reverse proxy policy that you created.
    10. In the Server Addresses field, type <Avaya Aura Web Gateway IP/FQDN>:<port number>.

      The value of <Avaya Aura Web Gateway IP/FQDN> must be based on the value that you used in the SAN name while creating the TLS certificate.

      The value of <port number> must be same as the port number configured in the Front-end port for remote access field on the HTTP Reverse Proxy page in Avaya Aura® Web Gateway. Avaya Aura® Web Gateway uses this port to identify requests from an external or remote user.

      To go to the HTTP Reverse Proxy page, you must log on to the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal and click External Access > HTTP Reverse Proxy.

    11. Click Finish.
