Proxy server in Intrexx
Proxy servers can be used for different purposes or scenarios within the architecture of Intrexx. Depending on the purpose, the settings are made in different places in Intrexx.
Below you will find an overview of the dialogs in Intrexx where you can make settings for proxy servers and which scenarios you can control with them.
Intrexx options
The first dialog for the proxy server settings can be found under "Extras > Options > Proxy".
You can use the settings in this dialog to control the following scenarios.
User authentication on the portal server
You can use a proxy server to insert an additional "security layer" between the Portal Manager and Portal Server. The proxy server can monitor the communication between Portal Manager and Portal Server. You can define users who must first authenticate themselves on the proxy server before they can access the portal server.
