https port redirection for SolarWinds Orion web access

I have a SolarWinds Orion server monitor that I want to make accessible from the public web. I am doing everything- AD authentication, SSL, etc.  the web server works perfectly on the LAN but where I am having a problem is when I cross the firewall. I have to share a public IP with other applications, so i have to use port forwarding. I have a rule that redirects traffic on the public IP address coming over port 8788 to port 443 on the web server. do I need to redirect anything to port 80, and is there a particular port I must use?
when I attempt to sign in to the web server over the public IP, it authenticates then gives me a 404. any ideas? sounds like it needs 80 as well as 443, but I’m not sure how to configure this. thanks I appreciate the help!

some applications are dynamic so their content reflects the IP/port on which they are accessed. it might be the case in your situation that the 8788 port is reflected in the response.
you might need to use a reverse proxy (squid) that faces the internet and where the SSL connection terminates to then proxy the requests to the internal web server.
You might have to use Apache as a reverse proxy and define workers on it to access the solarwinds ...

try the following using wget and see within whether there is a base href=  or contents on the page reflect the 8788 port.
