Tutorial - Configure UDMG Agent Proxy for UDMG Web Transfer Client

Dec 03, 2024

In this tutorial, you will:

  • Setup the forwarding service on the UDMG Agent Proxy for the UDMG Web Transfer Client.

 

The typical configuration is that UDMG Agent Proxy Server is installed in the DMZ on a proxy host that is reachable with an external name, for instance proxy-host.com.

The other UDMG components are installed on the UDMG main host inside the LAN.

Step 1

From the UDMG Admin UI navigation pane, select Local Servers. The Servers list displays.

Step 2

Click the Plus icon (

) in the Local Server Details.

  • In the Server Name field, enter local_auth_test_server-FORWARD

  • In the Protocol field, select HTTP

  • In the IP Address field, enter 0.0.0.0

  • In the Port field, enter 5005

  • In the Root Directory field, enter /home/udmg

  • In the Receive Directory field, enter in

  • In the Send Directory field, enter out

  • In the Temp Directory field, enter in

  • In the Member of Business Service field, select Generic

Note

  • The directories will not be used

  • The server should not be started, it only serves as a placeholder for defining a forwarding service on the UDMG Agent Proxy.

Step 3

Click Save icon (

).

Step 4

Make sure that the server is not started and disable it to prevent automatic start during UDMG Server initialization.

Click Disable icon (

).

Step 5

Check the configuration of the servers:

  • The local-auth server should appear as enabled (green check calendar icon) and started (green network icon).

  • The FORWARD server should appear as disabled (orange cross calendar icon) and offline (grey network icon).

Step 6

Restart the UDMG Agent Proxy Client client service.

When starting, the client will read the definition of the local servers from the UDMG Server and instruct the UDMG Agent Proxy Server to start the related forwarding services on the proxy host.

 

The following appears in the log files:

Step 7

Login to the Web Transfer Client by using the URL that is pointing to the proxy host, for instance: https://proxy-host.com:5050

 

Step 8

To be able to use the Ad-Hoc File sharing, the same URL must be configured in the LOCAL-AUTH server configuration:
