How to Publish BMS to External Users
This how-to applies to already working BMS within your local network, which means it is already accessible within your office or location.
Requirements:
- Public and Static IP
- Access to your gateway firewall or DMZ, you might need help from your network administrator.
Step-by-step guide
The IP Addresses used below are just examples and not an actual working IP.
- For the network administrator, he must assign or map the Public IP or port to connect to the Static IP assigned to BMS internally.
- Example: When an external user tries this Public IP http://104.196.107.42:48080/ibpworkbench/main - DMZ/firewall redirects it to the Internal IP http://192.168.0.22:48080/ibpworkbench/main
- Ports like 48080 should also be allowed. (465 is commonly used and allowed for outgoing mails, but please add if otherwise; this is for Forgot Password feature of BMS)
For server and network administrators, this is under the assumption that you have your own endpoint security in place- including monitoring and backup.
