How to configure Fortiweb on one-arm reverse proxy mode?

Hi,

 

Does anyone can give me a guide on how to configure Fortiweb on one-arm reverse proxy mode? And also how to configure the router to support this deployment mode? (I'm not using Fortigate)

 

Thanks.

 

Best regards,

Hengky

Hi

1. on router set forward port to Virtual IP on Fortiweb

2. on Fortiweb

    - create Virtual IP same as 1.

    - create policy mapping Virtual IP to webserver

    - verify policy go to fortiview -> policy status

    - go to monitor you will see attack event and other

on fortiweb:

connect your fortiweb to your router or fortigate via layer3 connection and set specific ip/subnet for example 192.168.10.0/24

set one of ip in this range to fortigate or router , for example port2 192.168.10.1/24

set another ip from this rane to your fortiweb , for example port1 192.168.10.2/24

then use another ip of this range to configure your VIRTUAL SERVER on your fortiweb :192.168.10.3-192.168.10.4

make sure that fortiweb sees back-end server and exist route on your fortiweb

you can use execute ping <Physical_Server_IP_address> to understand it.

...

on your fortigate and router

route HTTP and HTTPS traffic to fortiweb

fortiweb will change source ip of packets , and all of http/s traffic will be send to back-end web server by fortiweb ip address

then use x-forwarded-for to add specific header . x-forwarded-for will send client ip address to back-end server
