Setting Up a Generic Proxy Server

Use a Generic proxy server to access multiple protocols if the application proxy you need (for example, Telnet and rlogin) is not already defined in Novell BorderManager 3.7. Generic proxy tunnels data without caching it.

To set up a Generic TCP or UDP proxy server:

  1. In NetWare Administrator, select the BorderManager Setup page for the server.

    2.

  2. From the Application Proxy tab, check the Generic TCP Proxy or the Generic UDP Proxy check box.

    3.

  3. Click Details, or double-click the Generic TCP Proxy service or the Generic UDP Proxy service.

    NOTE:  The following steps are the same for setting up a Generic TCP or UDP proxy server.

    2. Enter the hostname of the origin server.

      3.

    3. Enter the port number the origin server is listening on for incoming connections.

      The default is 0 for Generic proxy.

      4.

    4. Select one or more public proxy IP addresses of the proxy server.

      These are the addresses you want the proxy to listen on for incoming connections from the Internet.

    5. Enter the port number for the proxy server.

      The default is 0.

      NOTE:  You can associate one or several public IP addresses with a particular domain name, but the combination of the IP address and the port must be unique.
