Is there a way to connect to RTC 4.0.3 via ssh and tunnelling?
I have a RTC 4.0.3 installation in a Windows 2008 R2 server. For security reasons, this server can only be acessed via ssh using tunnelling. To connect to the server, I use the connection string https://localhost:9443/jazz
The string "localhost:9443" is mapped in putty tool to connect to ip_server:9443, where ip_server is the server IP.
When I open the browser and type the connection string, I am able to connect to RTC server and login to jazz or jts pages. The problem arises when I click in links or buttons and I get errors because these controls are mapped as servername:9443 and the putty connection only knows localhost:9443. Is there a way to map the URLs properly to enable browser works properly via ssh with tunnelling?
Cheers

I am guessing using localhost in the connection string may be a problem. What i think is happenning is when you click on a link, localhost is being converted to the loopback Ip of the server. In putty would you be able to use the host name of the server instead of localhost?

AFAIK the localhost is the way how putty maps the configured server name and port to the server name string in hosts file. In the tunnels configuration pannel, following the help doc, I just added the L9443 string and, still according to the help doc, I need use https://localhost:9443 to refer to the configured server. Not sure if there is another way make putty map the server.
Cheers.
