Hi, 

We had a similar requirement to make Codebeamer 3.0.0.2 accessible from public networks so that it can integrate with tools like Git, Jira, Windchill, etc. Here's what worked for us:

1. Reverse Proxy Setup:
   We used Nginx on a public-facing VM to route traffic to the internal Codebeamer instance running on port 8080.

2. DNS & Static IP:
   Assigned a public static IP and mapped a DNS (e.g., cb.company.com) to it.

3. HTTPS Configuration:
   Enabled SSL using Let’s Encrypt for secure access over HTTPS.

4. Firewall Rules:
   Opened only port 443 (HTTPS) to the world. All other ports are blocked.

5. Security Measures:

   • Restricted access via IP allow-list (optional).

   • Enforced authentication and strong password policy.

   • Enabled logging and monitoring at the proxy layer.

Once exposed, we successfully connected Codebeamer with external tools via APIs and webhooks.

Thanks,
