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.
