create tunnel in order to access https via port 443

Question

I have Windows machine that connected to Linux server 192.9.100.10

And Linux server has connectivity to the IBM blade center management GUI - 192.9.100.200

From my Windows machine I do not have connectivity to 192.9.100.200

My target is to access the IBM management center as https://192.9.100.200:443

So I do the following steps:

• I use the PuTTY and create a tunnel from the Linux server to the IBM blade center management VIA port 443

• In the forward port in the PuTTY I set that putty

   L1000               192.9.100.200:443
  

• After this setting I verified the port 443 as the following from the cmd window ( on the WIN machine )

   telnet 192.9.100.200 443
  

... and I get telnet connection successfully

• But when I try to access the IBM management center by http as https://192.9.100.200:443 then I do not get any connection (white screen)

Can someone help me to understand what the problem here?

How to debug and how to resolve the problem?

Answer 1

L1000 192.9.100.200:443

Means you created a tunnel from 1000 port on your Windows machine. From this machine you have to connect via https://127.0.0.1:1000/ to use this tunnel.

If that won't work you may also try to change the "Auto" mode to "IPv4".
