Reverse Proxy

Recommended exposure

• Expose license-server-detail via HTTPS
• Keep license-monitor APIs private whenever possible

Nginx example

server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name dashboard.example.edu;
  ssl_certificate /path/to/fullchain.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key /path/to/privkey.pem;
  ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
  ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  }
}

Hardening guidance

• Restrict source IPs that can reach :8080 monitor endpoints
• Use network ACLs/VPN for management traffic
• Add request logging and retention at proxy layer
