OpenDeploy and F5 Setup

Has anyone successfully set this up? Basically TeamSite lives in a hosted environment but would need to deploy some content items back to server inside the internal network. The security requirement is that OD inbound must communicate to those internals via the F5.

TIA

Strange setup, but it's easily doable. From TeamSite's standpoint, the receiver is going to be the IP of the F5. And because the receiver will only see the deployment coming from the F5, you have to run with strictAuthentication="off" (because the IP/FQDN in the deployment data won't match the actual apparent source). It would therefore be a very good idea to run your deployments over SSL and to disallow unencrypted deployments, so you can be sure that data is only coming in from trusted sources.

Indeed it is. Unfortunately we are at the mercy of an over-zealous security team. Smiley Happy

That's where you lost me...I get that TS will point to the F5's IP - but what "connects" the F5 to my true target server?

Belay that last question...my brain is fried! Smiley Happy
