Installing Session & Web Session Proxy Component
The proxy server is a hardened and monitored device that provides controlled means of access between two dissimilar security zones. In case, a person wants to access a resource that is located in a dissimilar security zone, there needs to be a device or a connector that provides a secure link or a tunnel to access the resource. A proxy server can be used as a single traffic audit point or a means to manage user accounts.
Sectona Web Access component has inbuilt Embedded Proxy, Session Proxy and Web Session Proxy components. This section describes the procedure for installing additional or alternate session proxy on different zones or servers. Sectona PAM offers external proxy component which can be used as a decoupled component to deploy either in different network segments or on a dedicated PAM Proxy server.
