Reverse Proxy in Wingate

[owzw]

Hi.

Currently using Wingate 4.5.2 on Windows 2000 Pro SP4. I am looking to setup a reverse proxy so that I can have external users access Groupwise Webaccess and get there email over the internet.

The webaccess server is sitting on another machine behind wingate so I set up a www proxy service to accept connections on a port other than 80 (because I am using Wingate's built in Web server on port 80 to handle our web site requests) and then use the non-proxy tab to direct the webaccess requests to the internal server on port 80.

This works up to a point. After getting initially connected webaccess changes over to another port. This is what I don't know how to handle in wingate. Or does wingate handle this transparently and opens up the correct port?

Web access also wants to switch over to https for some requests. What happens in that case?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Not 100% sure if this would address your problem but I have used the same with another proxy server and was able to get same to work.
In the wingate under the external config/port security you should be able to have wingate look at the owa request on say port 80 on the in coming request and then mapp same to your internal mail server and redirect same to the different port (e.g 81) and allow traffic to be routed in and out of your proxy for this port.

Hope this helps.
