  2. Click + New in the upper right corner to add a new proxy.
  3. Enter a Name such as Salesforce Reverse Proxy.
  4. Select Type Reverse from the drop-down menu.
  5. Enter 443 as Port.

Results

Important: Until now, you have configured the reverse proxy for demo purposes and you could start it in the tab Dashboard. In that configuration, the certificate to secure the transport layer is created by the eperi sEcure Platform on the fly and is signed by the eperi Root CA. This will generate SSL/TLS error messages.

What to do next

In order to use your own certificates, you have to upload them to the eperi sEcure Platform. For more information, see Installing the SSL/TLS certificates for your corporate network.
