BF Server Proxy

Overview

The BF Proxy can be used to provide a single known IP address to access a given database server. This allows IT professionals to tightly configure access control to their internal network. The current proxy IP is located in North America.

PROS

Dev Ops technicians can whitelist only one IP address from the FM BetterForms Cloud servers.

CONS

Some latency is added depending on your geographic location, this is generally small.

Specifications

Fixed IP Address is: 54.215.158.200

Port: 443

Proxy location: AWS Data Center in Northern California. US-WEST-1

Configuring

The following is a temporary provision until the UI in the BF editor is built

Add a new server or change currently used by the app. The host address for the server will be:

4yt4c3i6n7tndqe6732fsbgxhq0gsaim.lambda-url.us-west-1.on.aws/YOUR.SERVER.DOMAIN

Note: Change YOUR.SERVER.DOMAIN to point to the FQDN of your FileMaker server.

Testing Connection

TODO

Get the entire URL http://4yt4c3i6n7tndqe6732fsbgxhq0gsaim.lambda-url.us-west-1.on.aws/YOUR.SERVER.DOMAIN and open on a browser. The expected result is shown below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 //EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title>FileMaker Website</title>
        <style type="text/css">

             display: block;
             margin-left: auto;
             margin-right: auto;
             text-align: center;
             vertical-align: middle;
        }
        </style>
