Set the HTTP proxy on a VM Edge with an XML configuration file
When you are using BYOC Premises – Customer VM Solution, you can set the Edge proxy on a VM Edge using an XML configuration file.
An Edge uses RFC-2817 HTTP CONNECT to establish a TLS connection through a proxy server. HTTP CONNECT allows an HTTP TCP connection to upgrade to HTTPS TLS. This creates an HTTP CONNECT tunnel.
Notes:
- Required authentication is not permitted on the HTTP proxy.
- You may need to configure the proxy server with a policy that allows TCP tunneling without HTTPS interception.
- Navigate to the ininedgeservices.xml file.
- In the XML file, add the http address below the <String>general.network.proxy</String>.
For example:
<String>general.network.proxy</String> <String/> |
changes to
<String>general.network.proxy</String> <String>http://10.1.1.1:8080</String> |
Note: The proxy setting required format is an absolute URI. For example, http://10.1.1.1:8080 is a valid address.
