US 11,601,333 B2 · Systems and methods for configuration verification across secured network boundaries

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for testing server configuration across a secured network edge. A server administrator submitting configuration instructions from an external network separated from an internal network by a network boundary device may not have adequate access for proper testing. A test platform within the internal network receives, from a management device in the external network, a test request indicating a client characteristic. The test platform generates a data request with origination information for a source of the data request conforming to the indicated client characteristic and transmits the generated data request to a data server within the internal network responsive to receiving the test request from the management device. The test platform then receives a response to the generated data request and provides, to the management device in the external network, a report based on the received response.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a data processing system from a first device, a first request indicating a client characteristic originating from a device having the client characteristic;
generating, by the data processing system, a second request for content that simulates a data request originating at a client device with the client characteristic indicated in the first request;
identifying, by the data processing system, data of a response to the generated second request, the data generated based on the client characteristic;
and
providing, by the data processing system to the first device, a report based on the identified data.
