Configuring an HTTP Proxy

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

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

Note

Starting Feature Release 11.26, when an HTTP proxy is set for Azure access nodes, the Azure storage account URLs are automatically bypassed. If your proxy is in a restrictive environment, verify that the proxy has access to the Azure storage account used in the environment.

Procedure

From the navigation pane, go to Manage > Server groups.

The Server groups page appears.
Click the server group.

The server group properties page appears.
On the Configuration tab, in the HTTP proxy section, move the Use HTTP proxy toggle key to the right.

The HTTP proxy dialog box appears.
Enter the proxy server name and proxy port.
To specify authentication, do the following:
1. Move the Use authentication toggle key to the right.
2. For Credentials, select existing credentials or create new credentials.
