Information and/or Action

Host Information

  • Specify the information for the server or switch through which internal and external users access Filr.

    IMPORTANT:Configure each Filr appliance that is servicing user requests in a Filr-based cluster with the same information.

    However, do not configure synchronization- and indexing-dedicated Filr appliances with Reverse Proxy Configuration Settings.

  • Host:

  • For a reverse proxy server or a load balancer/L4 switch, specify the DNS hostname.

  • For NetIQ Access Manager, enter the published DNS name.

  • Reverse Proxy HTTP Port:

  • If you have enabled Port Redirection and HTTP Port access in the Network dialog, specify port 80.

  • Reverse Proxy Secure HTTP Port:

  • If you have enabled Port Redirection and HTTP Port access in the Network dialog, specify port 443.

NetIQ Access Manager Integration

  • Logout URL:

  • The URL of the published DNS name of the reverse proxy that you have specified for the ESP, plus /AGLogout.

    You can find the domain used for the ESP by editing the LAG/MAG cluster configuration and then clicking Reverse Proxy / Authentication.

    For example, if the published DNS name of the proxy service that you have specified for the ESP is esp.yoursite.com, specify the following URL:

    https://esp.yoursite.com/AGLogout

  • After clicking OK, you must click Reconfigure Filr Server for your changes to take effect.

    This stops and restarts your Filr server. Because this results in server downtime, you should restart the server during off-peak hours.

  • Filr plugin for NAM:

Click Filr Plugin for NAM to download the FilrAuthClass.jar file. This jar file is required to enable Filr users to access the Filr services through NetIQ Access Manager (NAM). For more information about configuring NAM to act as Proxy service for a Filr site, see Integrating Filr and NetIQ Access Manager in the Access Manager (NAM) and Filr Integration.
