Using Encryption With Proxies

You can have the Screen decrypt incoming traffic from a client before passing it to the proxy by creating two rules. The following is an example of using the Telnet proxy with SunScreen SKIP:

edit> add rule telnet proxyclient localhost SKIP_VERSION_2 ...
edit> add rule telnet proxyclient proxyserver PROXY_TELNET

Likewise, you can have the Screen encrypt the connection from the proxy to the backend server using a similar pair of rules:

edit> add rule telnet localhost proxyserver SKIP_VERSION_2 ...
edit> add rule telnet proxyclient proxyserver PROXY_TELNET
