Note: If Coverity Connect is deployed in the cloud, this section does not apply.
This section describes how to add and configure a reverse proxy (RP) server in front of the Coverity Connect server. This is a prerequisite for enabling Reverse Proxy Authentication (RPA) in Coverity Connect.
The RP server configuration described in this section can handle requests from, and responses to, any HTTP or HTTPS client. Examples include:
browsers
cov-manage-imcov-run-desktopcov-commit-defects
As shown in the diagram below, requests from these clients are addressed to the HTTPS port on the RP server.
