Helix proxy configuration<br />

Helix proxy configuration<br />

The Helix proxy is a third-party proxy for handling real-time streaming data. It is preinstalled on the<br />

<strong>McAfee</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> appliance. This section tells you how to use this proxy on the appliance.<br />

The Helix proxy is initially not accessed from the user interface of the appliance, but using a command<br />

line interface, which is, for example, provided by your administration system. Later on, you can<br />

administer the proxy on its own user interface.<br />

Complete the following procedure to set up the Helix proxy for use on the appliance:<br />

1 On the command line interface, enter the activation command, for example, as follows:<br />

service helix-proxy activate<br />

You are asked to enter a user name and password for the initial administrator account.<br />

2 Enter both. The Helix proxy is started.<br />

Note: After the start, you can find configuration files for the proxy in the /opt/helix-proxy folder on the<br />

appliance and modify them manually as needed.<br />

3 Connect to the user interface of the proxy:<br />

http://:21774/admin/index.html<br />

The user interface appears and displays a logon window.<br />

4 Enter the user name and password from step 2.<br />

After a successful logon, the user interface of the proxy is available.<br />

5 Configure your real-player application to use the appliance as a proxy, for example, as follows:<br />

a Start the real player.<br />

b On its user interface, go to the proxy settings.<br />

c In the appropriate input field, for example, the RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) field, enter<br />

the IP address of the appliance with 554 as the port number.<br />

For more information, refer to the user documentation of the Helix proxy.<br />
