Add a federation for a reverse proxy server

Configure a federation on a reverse proxy server to set up access between the federation and reverse proxy appliances.

The reverse proxy server to use for the federations must already be configured.

Steps

1. From the local management interface, select Web > Manage > Reverse Proxy. A list of reverse proxy instances displays.

2. Select the reverse proxy instance name from the list.

3. Select Manage > Federation Management. A list of federations configured for this reverse proxy instance displays.

4. Click Add. A window opens where we can add the configuration information.

5. Enter the configuration details for the federation.

   The Runtime tab provides authentication information for the federation runtime:

   Host name

   The host name or IP address of the runtime server. This field is required.

   Port

   The SSL port number of the runtime server. This field is required.

   User name

   The user name used to authenticate with the runtime server. This field is required.

   Password

   The password used to authenticate with the runtime server. This field is required.

   The Federation tab specifies the federation name:

   Federation Name

   The name that identifies the federation that we are configuring on this reverse proxy instance. Correct name from the list. If the federation name is not in the list, ensure setting up the runtime configuration properly for that federation.

   The ACLs and Certificates tab indicates reuse of existing access control lists (ACLs) and certificates:

   Reuse ACLs

   Select to reuse any existing ACLs with the same name. If this check box is not selected, the ACLs are replaced.

   Reuse Certificates

   Select to reuse the SSL certificate if it was already saved. If this check box is not selected, the certificate is overwritten.

6. Click Submit.
