Configure a forward proxy server for a connector

Depending on your network configuration, you may need to route all external communication to or from a connector through a forward proxy server.

Before you begin

This procedure only applies to connectors installed in VMWare or VirtualBox environments.

  3. Select 8) Configure HTTP/HTTPS Proxy Information.

  4. At the prompts, enter y and the URL and port number for the forward proxy (for example, http://192.162.1.1:3128).
    Your connector now uses the new forward proxy server. It will ping google.com and use EAA to ensure connectivity.
