Setting the external server URL

There are times when a device needs to connect to a link sent by the server. For example, downloading client files, web page URLs, and Apple encrypted mail retrieval. To make sure that the server sends an appropriate link that the device can use, you must first set the External Server URL field on the HCL Traveler tab in the Server document.

This URL sets the HCL Traveler servlet URL as the URL through which to perform all HCL Traveler transactions and data synchronization. This value should be a URL that HCL Traveler users can always access, whether on an internal network or the internet, and should not change.

If there is a reverse proxy in use, the URL should be set using this reverse proxy name. If there is a DNS name or IP that is used to route external traffic to the HCL Traveler server from the internet, the URL should be set using this DNS name or IP address.

This field should specify the complete path to the Traveler servlet, including http:// or https://, any port numbers if non-default values are in use, and should end in /traveler.
