ReverseProxy and URL-filter

Wolfgang — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 06:17:03 GMT

We are using the ReverseProxy feature of the MobileAccessBlade to publish some webservers. Works like a charme. Now we had a request to allow access to a specific URL only for some sources:

https://www.mywebsite.com/page10 forwarded via ReverseProxy to https://www.mywebsite.internal/page10 <= open for any source

https://www.mywebsite.com/page12 forwarded vi ReverseProxy to https://www.mywebsite.internal/page20 <= open only for source IP 123.123.123.123

I played with an inline rule and URL-filter with no success. The ReverseProxy gets the connection and send this to the internal destination, but my inline rule with source IP 123.123.123.123 and https://www.mywebsite.internal/page20 as application does not match. It always matches the any any allow rule in my URL-filter inline rule.

Maybe someone has an idea to filter a specific URL using ReverseProxy?

The Reverse Proxy functionality does not support any form of access control.
If that's required, it should be done through the regular MAB portal.

Can you provide link how to configure through the regular MAB portal?

You would configure specific websites/applications in the MAB portal per the documentation for your specific version.
