I've used both TMG (formerly ISA), UAG (formerly TMG :-)) and Afaria Relay Servers as reverse proxies for Afaria traffic.

There's a published document on Frontline (http://frontline.sybase.com/support/fileDownload.aspx?ID=1847) regarding how to set op on ISA Server 2004 but the settings also works well on TMG. UAG works like TMG under the hood so I actually switched to "TMG Mode" to set up the Afaria connections.

Hi Boopalan,

I've used a number of reverse proxies in front of Afaria - by far the best I have used is actually a standard Apache reverse proxy. Any linux/unix installation with apache installed can be configured to act a authenticated/unauthenticated proxy in front of your installation. In my case I usually go for a CentOS 6 installation with a HTTPD installation.

Be aware, switching from a relay server to a reverse proxy is quite a change and will impact your existing users.

My advice is to setup a temporary mirror enviornment, try it out, get it working correctly (SSL, authentication and everything in between) and then get a plan together to make your migration.

Hope that helps and shout if you need any more information.

Brenton.
