Will FortiWeb the right product to solve the problem with JIRA?

Hello, maybe one of you brave folks can help me:

We run a JIRA 6.2.7 on an internal server. Now the sales force should acces it via internet and web browser (no, no VPN!). Our provider suggested a FortiGate with HW / SW tokens and the FortiGate web portal.
The problem is, that on some JIRA pages broken links are created. Usualle they are correct "https: //xyz.portal.tld/proxy/https/our-jira-server.tld/the/jira/internal/uri", but on certain pages they are "https: //xyz.portal.tld/jira/internal/uri" - the proxy-stuff is missing). From then on, the document in the browser is incorrectly localized and we are stuck.

We believe that some URLs (hidden in JavaScript, REST calls, from responses from REST calls, etc.) will not be adjusted by the FortiGate JavaScripts which modify the page in the browser.

JIRA makes heavy use of jQuery, backbone.js and other JavaScript libraries).

Now the provider had the idea to use a FortiWeb instead of (or in addition to) FortiGate. Do you think, that this will solve our JIRA-link-problem?

Our demand is reverse proxying the internal JIRA from the internet using the two-factor authorization via HW / SW tokens (and, of course, be safe on our internal network ;)

Hope you can shed some light in the block box of Fortnet building blocks ...

Thank you

Alex

Dear Alex,

I am thre FortiWeb specialist in your region. I believe you are in Europe. Best would be to have a VMware version of the application installed and test this. This can be done very quickly. Perhaps you can reach out to partner or local Fortinet team to request temporary version of FWB to test?

If not able to reach someone, please contact me on mduijm@fortinet.com

thanks,

Martijn
