Configure the Public Console Proxy Address on page 138
If your vCloud Director installation includes multiple cloud cells running behind a load balancer or
NAT, or if the cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public console
proxy address.

Configure the Public REST API Base URL on page 139
If your vCloud Director installation includes multiple cloud cells running behind a load balancer or
NAT, or if the cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public REST API
base URL.
Configure the Public Web URL
If your vCloud Director installation includes multiple cloud cells running behind a load balancer or NAT, or
if the cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public web URL.
During the initial configuration of each cloud cell, you specified an HTTP service IP address. By default,
vCloud Director uses that address to construct the organization URL that organization users access to log in
to the system. To use a different address, specify a public web URL.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Public Addresses in the left pane.
2 Type the public web URL.
If you are using a load balancer, set the public web URL to the load balancer's IP (ex.
https://LoadBalancerIP. If you are not using a load balancer, you must include /cloud at the end of
your public web URL (ex. https://cellIP/cloud).
3 Click Apply.
When you create an organization, its organization URL includes the public web URL instead of the HTTP
service IP address. vCloud Director also modifies the organization URLs of existing organizations.
Configure the Public Console Proxy Address
If your vCloud Director installation includes multiple cloud cells running behind a load balancer or NAT, or
if the cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public console proxy address.
During the initial configuration of each cloud cell, you specified a remote console proxy IP address. By
default, vCloud Director uses that address when a user attempts to view a virtual machine console. To use a
different address, specify a public console proxy address.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Public Addresses in the left pane.
2 Type the hostname or IP address for the public console proxy address.
This can be the address of the load balancer or some other machine that can route traffic to the remote
console proxy IP.
3 Click Apply.
Remote console session tickets sent to the HTTP service IP address return the public console proxy address.
