Useful IGEL UMS Features for Managing Reverse Proxy Connected Devices

This article describes IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) features that support the management of devices connected through a reverse proxy.

Default Directory Rules for Devices Connected via Reverse Proxy

You can create a default directory rule to sort devices connected through the reverse proxy into a dedicated folder.

You can do this by using the Connected via Reverse Proxy criterion. You can use the dedicated folder to assign objects (files, profiles, etc.) to the devices included in the folder. This way, devices receive special settings when they are connected through a reverse proxy.

In the UMS Web App Search area, you can use the Connected by reverse proxy search criterion to list devices that are connected through a reverse proxy.

If you save the list as advanced search, you can use it in jobs and administrative tasks, see How to Use Advanced Search in the IGEL UMS Web App.
