Software Release 2.30 YesWare Applications User’s Guide 08-01016-01
InterProxy module functions
The InterProxy module contains the following functions:
• Configure InterProxy
• Backup InterProxy
• Configure Remote Access
• Virtual Concierge
• Configure Proxy IP Address
• TFTP Daemon Manager
Of these InterProxy module functions, this chapter covers only the Configure
InterProxy function used to configure the YWS to support the visitor
computers on the VBN. The following sections briefly describe the purpose of
each of the remaining functions, and cross-references to the location in this
document covering each function.
Backup InterProxy
This function is used to backup the existing InterProxy configuration. This
backup function is separate from the system backup function in the NSS
Maintenance module. See Procedure 13-12 on page 13-27, “Backing up the
InterProxy configuration,” for the procedure to use this function.
Configure Remote Access
This function is used to restrict remote access to the YWS Web interface. See
Procedure 13-2 on page 13-6, “Restricting web access to the YWS,” for the
procedure to use this function.
Virtual Concierge
This function is used to configure the IP address of a Web site that contains free
content available to the VBN visitors at the YWS host site. See Chapter 10,
“Customizing the VBN web site” for more information on the operation and
use of this function.
Configure Proxy IP Address
This function is used to configure the IP address of a system that uses HTTP
Proxy to "reverse-proxy" into the YWS. Reverse-proxy is used to access the
Web interfaces of Ethernet switches in the VBN when upgrading the switch
firmware. See Procedure 7-5 on page 7-22, “Upgrading Ethernet-VBN switch
firmware using TFTP and HTTP Proxy” for more information.
TFTP Daemon Manager
This function is used to start and stop the TFTP Daemon Manager that
supports Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) on the YWS. TFTP is used to
transfer switch firmware upgrade files to the YWS. See Procedure 7-5 on page
7-22, “Upgrading Ethernet-VBN switch firmware using TFTP and HTTP
Proxy” for more information.
