Setting Up HTTP Transparent Proxy

HTTP Transparent proxy enables you to use an HTTP proxy server without reconfiguring each of the user's browsers. Use HTTP Transparent proxy to require users to send requests through the proxy server.

When you use HTTP Transparent proxy, the clients must use the proxy's private IP address as the TCP/IP gateway address. IP forwarding must be enabled on the server.

To set up HTTP Transparent proxy:

1. In NetWare Administrator, select the Novell BorderManager 3.8 Setup page for the server.

2. From the Transparent Proxy tab, select the Transparent HTTP Proxy check box.

3. Click Details or double-click the Transparent Proxy service.

4. Click Add and specify a port for monitoring.

   For example, specify 80 for HTTP traffic.

5. In the Exception IP Address List, click Add and specify a local IP address.

6. Click OK from the Novell BorderManager 3.8 Setup page.

To set up authentication for HTTP Transparent proxy, refer to Setting Up Proxy Authentication.
