  • Access node machines must be able to connect to rds.amazonaws.com, or the Regional equivalent if the AWS account is restricted to specific Regions. To route communications through an HTTP or HTTPS proxy, provide proxy information in the CommServe Control Panel, on the HTTP Proxy tab of the Internet Options dialog box. To use an HTTPS proxy, you must provide authentication details.
