You can edit a server's settings, including configuring a server as a catalog node and/or application server, setting the public IP address of the server, and the IP address to which each virtual portal's DNS should resolve. This allows you to restrict specific portals to be accessible only from a specific network interface.
This task can be performed in the Global Administration View only.
In the Name field, type a unique identifier for the server.
To configure the server to act as an application server, select the Act as application server checkbox. An application server accepts CTTP connections from devices and HTTPS connections from end users and CTERA Mobile. If the checkbox is unchecked, this server will not allow any client logins.
To configure the server to act as a catalog node, select the Catalog Node checkbox. A catalog node is a database server used to store file metadata.
To declare that the server's default IP address has a public Network Address Translation (NAT) address, check the Public NAT Address checkbox and type the public IP address in the field. This controls the default IP address of this server that is exposed using DNS.
By default, the portal listens to virtual portals on the default address. You can optionally bind specific virtual portals to other interfaces (specified by IP address) of the server, which will cause this IP address to be published by the DNS server, and will prevent access to the specified portal via other IP addresses of the server. To set custom address mappings, do the following:
Select the Custom Address Mappings check box.
The Custom Address Mappings table is enabled.
For each virtual portal that should be bound to an IP address of the server, do the following:
In the virtual portal's row, click in the IP Address field, then type the IP address to be translated. This should be the IP address of the local interface which should accept connections for clients of the specified virtual portal.
To bind this virtual portal to the default IP address, do not enter a value in this field.
If NAT is used, and the public IP address of the interface differs from the private IP address, click in the NAT IP Address field in the virtual portal's row, and then type the IP address to which the original IP address should be translated. This public address will be published by the CTERA Portal DNS server.
To specify that the public IP address is equal to the private IP address, do not enter a value in this field.
