As a convenience for remote users, the hostname (FQDN) of the network server can 
be configured to allow for IP address resolution. This host name resolution  provides 
users  with  easy-to-remember  FQDN‘s  to  access  TCP  applications  instead  of  error -
prone  IP  addresses  when  using  the  Port  Forwarding  service  through  the  SSL  User 
Portal.  
To configure port forwarding, following are required: 
  Local Server IP address: The IP address of the local server which is hosting the 
application. 
  TCP port: The TCP port of the application  
Once the new application is defined it is displayed in a list of configured applications 
for port forwarding.  
allow users to access the private network servers by using a hostname instead of an IP 
address, the FQDN corresponding to the IP address is  defined in the port forwarding 
host configuration section.  
  Local  server  IP  address:  The  IP  address  of  the  local  server  hosting  the 
application.  The application should be configured in advance.  
  Fully  qualified domain name: The domain name of the internal  server is  to be 
specified 
Once the new FQDN is configured, it is displayed in a list of configured hosts for port 
forwarding. 
 Defining  the  hostname is  optional as  minimum requirement  for  port forwarding  is 
identifying  the  TCP  application  and  local  server  IP  address.  The  local  server  IP 
address  of  the  configured  hostname  must  match  the  IP  address  of  the  configured 
application for port forwarding.
