OpenLM Broker connectivity through HTTP Proxy Server

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).
