Configuring proxy servers

You can configure your SMART Bridgit server software to work with any proxy server that adheres to
the RFC 2068 HTTP standard. If you install your SMART Bridgit server software behind a proxy
server, you must create access policy rules for inbound and outbound traffic on that proxy server. You
can further enhance your network security by enabling authentication, such as basic, digest or NT
LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication.

Use
Initial connection to the SMART Bridgit server to
l
display the web page from which the users download
the SMART Bridgit client.
Initial connection to the SMART Bridgit server from
l
the SMART Bridgit client when looking for meetings
to join or when creating new meetings.
Fallback communication method for all other
l
SMART Bridgit functions when other ports are
unavailable (lower performance than other ports).
Primary port for data, screen viewing and webcam
l
traffic for SMART Bridgit meetings.
If this port is limited to only HTTP, SMART Bridgit
l
conferencing software attempts to use the
secondary port (9933) for this traffic.
If this port is blocked or unavailable, SMART Bridgit
l
conferencing software uses the HTTP on the primary
port, which can affect performance.
Secondary port for data, screen viewing and webcam traffic
for SMART Bridgit meetings.
Primary port range for VoIP audio traffic for
l
SMART Bridgit meetings.
If these ports are blocked or unavailable,
l
SMART Bridgit conferencing software falls to TCP or
HTTP on the primary or secondary port, which can
negatively affect performance.
