Setting up a Proxy Server to Access the Cloud Storage Library

You can setup a secure access to the cloud library using a proxy server. The secure proxy server contains the cloud storage related information, and all the MediaAgents connect to the proxy server to access the cloud library.

Alternatively, you can configure the proxy server details on the MediaAgent client properties to honor the proxy server across all the cloud storage libraries associated with the MediaAgent. For more information on configuring a proxy for clients, see Configuring an HTTP Proxy for a Client.
