To add a new resource:
1. Go to Access and click the + icon in the top right.
2. Fill in the details:
Resource Name – Simple identifier for the resource in the CloudGen Access Enterprise Console.
Public Host – Hostname used by the device to redirect the request to the CloudGen Access Proxy.Must be a valid DNS record.Does not need to exist as a public DNS record, private, or at all.
Resource Host – Internal resource hostname or IP used by the CloudGen Access Proxy to connect to.Needs to be a hostname or IP that the CloudGen Access Proxy can resolve and connect to.
External Port – Port used for the request to the public host from the device.
Internal Port – Internal resource port used by the CloudGen Access Proxy to connect to the resource host.
Access Proxy – The CloudGen Access Proxy that will be used and has access to the resource being configured.
Policy Name – The policy used to allow access for this resource.
Notes – Can be used to add extra information regarding the resource.
Please note:
When accessing an internal resource with HTTPS configured, the public host needs to match the configured hostname in the resource certificate.
Wildcard Resources
A wildcard is a character used to represent an unspecified resource name or an unspecified part of a resource name. You can add a wildcard resource by adding an asterisk (*) character at the beginning of the hostname. Example: If you add *.acme.com
as a resource, all traffic from the subdomains of acme.com will be intercepted and sent through the CloudGen Access proxy.
Wildcard Exceptions
If the resource domain (public or private) is a wildcard domain (example: *.acme.internal
), you can add exceptions that will not be resolved via that resource. Example: *.acme.internal
will catch insights.acme.internal and chat.fruits.internal, but if you add an exception for 'chat', then chat.acme.internal
will not be resolved to the corresponding internal host.
Fixed IP
You can assign a fixed IP address (only for non-wildcard domains) to the resources. If you do so, a resource domain will always be resolved to that IP address on the client-side. Example: If you add a fixed IP 192.168.0.3
for call.acme.internal, it will always be the same IP. This is necessary for some resources, such as the VOIP protocol (3CX).
