I have a client I am working with to set up Forms to work with a reverse proxy server. In scanning Answers, I've drawn some general conclusions about what is required, most specifically based on this post, https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/181810/reverse-proxy#182046. My understanding if that I want the public connecting to the proxy server to connect over HTTPS and have the connection be sustained over HTTPS internally to Forms, and therefore actually work with Forms using LfDS, the following has to be the case:
- The proxy server will need to be set-up with a proper SSL certificate, one that I presume conforms to Laserfiche's guidelines;
- The proxy server must be set up to forward requests to the Forms server over HTTPS;
- The Forms server must trust the certificate on the reverse proxy server.
Is that all correct as far as it goes, or have I gotten something incorrect? I would assume so for traffic going the other direction, but does the proxy server also need to trust the certificate on the Forms server? What am I missing?
Any guidance, from simple clarification, to best practices, to notes on what else needs to be done would be most welcome. For example, I'm assuming really nothing about the Forms server itself needs to be set up differently than usual to work with a proxy server. Is that really the case? Thanks in advance for any information provided.
