Aloha POS Server - Dual Network - Proxy Server Setup Question.

1

Good Day Everyone,

So I have Aloha POS Network. Our Back of House PC/Server hs dual nic.
One Nic - connects to the internet and runs all pos applications that are needed for the terminals to communicate
Second Nic - connects to POS Terminals that are not connected to the internet. It allows the POS network to be hybrid airgap.

How do I setup up the proxy to point back to the Server that has internet access so I can get OpenEDR to activate and we can monitor?

hi @inforsrt

I will check with the internal team and get back to you on the settings details.

Thank you

hi @inforsrt

We have checked internally and the team updated that EDR agent does not support proxy currently. We do have Feature Request ticket already existing for this request. CS-46537 , we do not have ETA for the same.

If you want to proxy traffic from Communication and Security Clients he can setup proxy server (we offer to use nginx, please follow below steps for the same)

  1. Unzip [nginx-1.27.1.zip![|7x7]
    nginx-1.27.1.zip (1.9 MB)
    into C:\nginx-1.27.1\ (config file location must be “C:\nginx-1.27.1\conf\nginx.conf”)
  2. Edit “C:\nginx-1.27.1\conf\nginx.conf” to set allowed networks:
    Find
    allow 192.168.0.0/24;
    allow 172.16.0.0/24;
    deny all;
    and edit/add required allowed client networks and save changes
  3. Unzip nssm [nssm-2.24.zip![|7x7]
    nssm-2.24.zip (343.5 KB)
    into C:\nssm-2.24\
  4. Run cmd as Administrator and execute:
    cd C:\nssm-2.24\win64
    nssm install nginx
  5. In NSSM gui do the following:
    On the application tab: set path to “C:\nginx-1.27.1\nginx.exe”, set startup directory to C:\nginx-1.27.1
    Details: Display Name: nginx, Description: Nginx Xcitium Mirror
    On the I/O tab type “start nginx” on the Input slow. Optionally set C:\nginx-1.27.1\logs\service.out.log and C:\nginx-1.27.1\logs\service.err.log in the output and error slots.
    Click “install service”.
  6. Go to services, start “nginx”.
  7. Configure profile to get updates from nginx address:
    image

and configure Client Proxy in profiles

Keep in mind devices should be enrolled also via the proxy - either using mst file or using bulk installtion package with profile which includes Client proxy

Hi @nivedithab

So can I just connect to XCC through nginx? Or do I still need to set up squid?

you can use nginx to connect to XCC
