Configuring an HTTP/HTTPS Application Offloading Portal

To offload a Web application and create a portal for it, perform the following steps:
Navigate to Portals > Portals and click the Offload Web Application button. The Add Portal
Step 1
screen opens. The screen contains the Offloading tab, used specifically for application
offloading configuration.
To support Web applications not currently supported by HTTP/HTTPS bookmarks.
Application Offloading does not require URL rewriting, thereby delivering complete
application functionality without compromising throughput.
The maximum number of users supported is limited by the number of applications being
accessed and the volume of application traffic being sent.
The Application Offloading feature will not work well if the application refers to resources
within the same host using absolute URLs. In this case, you may need to convert an
absolute URL reference to its relative form.
NTLM (Microsoft NT Lan Manager) authentication and digest authentication schemes are
not supported for HTTP(S) bookmarks or Application Offloading.
Further information about configuring specific backend Web applications is available in the
Dell SonicWALL SRA Application Offloading and HTTP(S) Bookmarks feature module,
available under Support on www.sonicwall.com.
