Configure proxy servers

Configure settings for individual proxy servers, which you can then specify at the filter level.

2 minute read

You can configure settings for individual proxy servers under the Environment Configuration > External Connections node in the Policy Studio tree, which you can then specify at the filter level (in the Connection and Connect To URL filters). When configured, the filter connects to the HTTP proxy server, which in turn routes the message on to the destination server named in the request URI.

Configuration

To configure a proxy server under the Environment Configuration > External Connections tree node, right-click the Proxy Servers node, and select Add a Proxy Server. You can configure the following settings in the dialog:

Port Port number on which to connect to the proxy server.
Username Optional user name when connecting to the proxy server.
