Introduction:
In certain network environments, it may be necessary to configure a proxy server to enable client-based applications to communicate with OpenLM Broker. This article demonstrates how to connect the Broker through a proxy server.
Manual Proxy Settings Configuration
To connect your OpenLM Broker through a proxy server, follow these steps:
- Open any convenient text editor and create a new file called `proxy.properties`
- Paste the following properties and assign values.
http.proxyHost=your.proxy.host (related to target URLs) http.proxyPort=your.proxy.port (related to target URLs) https.proxyHost=your.https.proxy.host (related to target URLs) https.proxyPort=your.https.proxy.port (related to target URLs) jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes= (empty as Basic Auth is disabled by default ) http.proxyUser=your.username (related to the proxy) http.proxyPassword=your.password (related to the proxy)
- Ensure that you replace the placeholders with your actual proxy server and authentication details.
- Save this file and place it at C:\Program Files\OpenLM\OpenLM Broker.
- Go to Windows Services and restart the OpenLM Broker.
Properties explanations:
- `http.proxyHost` and `http.proxyPort`: The host and port settings for the HTTP proxy related to your target URLs.
- `https.proxyHost` and `https.proxyPort`: The host and port settings for the HTTPS proxy related to your target URLs.
- `http.proxyUser` and `http.proxyPassword`: If your proxy server requires authentication, you can specify the username and password.
- `jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes`: Empty when Basic Authentication is disabled (default).
Additional Resources
Other than that, the file allows Apache Commons HTTPClient settings:
http.proxyUser https.proxyUser socks.proxyUser
