Configuring an HTTP Proxy for Amazon Web Services

By default, if an HTTP proxy is configured for the CommServe computer, that HTTP proxy is used by all clients in the CommCell group.

You can configure a different HTTP proxy to communicate with your cloud account.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click a client computer, and then click Properties.

   The client computer properties dialog box appears.

2. Click Network.

   The network properties dialog box appears.

3. On the HTTP Proxy Settings tab, select Configure HTTP Proxy.

4. Enter the proxy server name and proxy port.

5. To enter a domain or endpoint that does not require this HTTP proxy, enter the address in Proxy bypass list.

   For example:

   • You can enter a endpoint URL, such as ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

   • You can enter multiple endpoints using the "," operator as a delimiter, such as ec2.us-east-1.amzonaws.com,s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

   • You can also use wildcards "*" and "?" such as *.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

6. To specify authentication options, select Use authentication and then either select an existing credential from the list, or perform the following steps to create a new credential:

   1. Click Create New.

      The Create user credential dialog box appears.

   2. Enter details for the new credential.

   3. Click OK.

7. To use the HTTP proxy with network topologies, select Use with network topologies. If this option is selected, the network daemon service uses this HTTP proxy for the outgoing connections that are set up in the network topology for the server group.

8. Click OK.
