Configuring an HTTP Proxy for a Server

Configure an HTTP proxy for a server to achieve load balancing, security, and traffic management and add the information to the server configuration page.

Procedure

From the navigation pane, go to Manage > Servers.

The Servers page appears.
Click the server for which you want to configure an HTTP proxy.

On the server page, the Overview tab appears.
Click the Configuration tab, and scroll down to the HTTP proxy tile.
Move the Use HTTP proxy toggle key to the right.

The HTTP proxy dialog box appears.
To use the server OS proxy settings already configured in the server, move the Use the client OS proxy settings toggle key to the right.

Alternatively, to provide new proxy settings:
- In the Proxy server box, enter the proxy server name.
- In the Proxy port box, enter the proxy port.
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 Add credential dialog box appears.
2. Enter details for the new credential.
3. Click Save.
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.
To enter a domain or website that does not require this HTTP proxy, enter the address in the Proxy Bypass List field, and then click Add.

Each entry can only have letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), or hyphens (-). Use "" to skip the proxy for local addresses.

For example:
- You can enter a hostname, such as rds.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com
- You can enter a domain using the "." operator, such as amazonaws.com can match amazonaws.com, amazonaws.com:80, and www.amazonaws.com, but not www.amazonavs.com or amazonaws.com.org.
- You can enter a domain such as amazonaws.com to bypass HTTP proxy for URLs containing hostnames such as amazonaws.com, amazonaws.com:80, and www.amazonaws.com. However, this will not bypass incorrectly spelled URLS such as www.amazonavs.com and amazonaws.com.org.
  
  Note
  
  The "." operator is not allowed at the beginning of the bypass list (for example, .amazonaws.com).
