Please see Settings - Translation Vendor on how to activate this feature. Wordbee Translator will then call into your Beebox to retrieve files.
Whenever a Wordbee Translator user previews a Beebox file, a Wordbee hosted server calls the public URL of your Beebox.
Introduction
Security considerations:
- You need to know the public URL of your Beebox: IP address or domain name + port number + SSL yes/no
- You must enable access to this URL from Wordbee servers, see below.
Firewall settings
You must open your firewall to allow inbound HTTP/S connections to your Beebox URL from:
- 213.166.42.82
- 213.166.42.83
- 149.6.66.242
- 149.6.66.243
All these IP addresses are servers located in the Wordbee data-center in Luxembourg (tier 4 data-center). This does not apply if you have installed Wordbee Translator on-premise.
Questions and Answers
What is the public URL of my Beebox?
It is the URL (IP address or domain name) you use to access the Beebox user interface from the Internet.
Your system engineers decide if this address points directly to your Beebox server or an intermediary proxy server:
- In the former case you may be interested in changing port number or activate HTTPS in your Beebox, see Change Port and SSL.
- In the latter case, your proxy server may handle HTTPS and redirect HTTP calls to your Beebox.
Can I have Wordbee use HTTPS when calling my Beebox?
Upon installation, your Beebox URL uses plain HTTP on port 8089.
Switching to HTTPS requires installation of an SSL certificate to your server: Change Port and SSL
What if I use a proxy server for inbound calls?
Your public Beebox URL may point to your proxy server. The proxy server then redirects the inbound calls to your Beebox server. In this case SSL can be handled by your proxy server and you need not install an SSL certificate to the Beebox server itself. If you want to put in place such a mechanism, please contact Wordbee:
- By default, a Beebox server does not permit preview requests going through a proxy server. Please contact Wordbee.
