Sambar Server Documentation

Bridge Proxy Debugging


Bridge Proxy Overview
The Bridge Proxy included with the Sambar Server is a relatively simple mechanism to map TCP traffic from one network to another. See the Proxy Functionality for an overview of the Bridge Proxy functionality.

Trace Bridge
The Bridge proxy listens to traffic destined for a specified TCP port (i.e. 23) and then forward all requests to the same TCP port of the Bridge Server specified in the config.ini file. For example, to telnet from a machine on one side of the Sambar Server to a remote machine on the other side of the "firewall", you could use the Bridge Proxy to connect the session:

Trace Bridge = true
Bridge Port = 23
Act As Bridge Proxy = true
Bridge Server = dev2

With the above configuration, you would telnet to the machine on which your Sambar Server is running and it would automatically forward your request to the machine dev2. By setting the flag Trace Bridge to true the log file bridge.log will contain a trace of the bridge session. This functionality is designed to assist in debugging client/server applications.

The following is a bridge.log transcript from a bridge proxy telnet session. The session consists of logging in, listing all files on the Unix machine and then exiting the telnet session. Note: The byte count numbering along the right-hand side restarts at 000000 for each TCP/IP packet received.
