Portal properties - Proxies

First column

Clicking in the first column will activate or deactivate a proxy. The setting always refers to the path from the Portal Server.

"Proxy type" column

Select the proxy type here. Selecting the entry "<none>" in the proxy type drop-down list means, that for the entered URL pattern no proxy will be used.

"Server / Port" column

In the third column, enter the server name or the IP address. The port must only be changed if port 8080 is already in use.

"Rule" column

A list of rules can be entered here with a comma-separated list which are then routed through the proxy. At least one of the rules must apply. With the wildcard *, everything will be routed through the proxy.

Example:

https://server\\.tec\\.example\\.com:4444/services*

accepts URLs that start specifically with

https://server.tec.example.com:4444/services.


https://server.tec.example.com:4444/services*

accepts URLs starting with

https://server.tec.example.com:4444/services

.

https://*/services/*_"

accepts URLs starting with

https:// and containing /services/.

Make sure you define the rules in such a way that they only apply in the cases for which they are intended. Otherwise, this could lead to unexpected behavior - e.g. using the rule "http://*" means that URLs from the local computer (e.g. https://localhost:8983) are also affected - which is usually not intended.

"Auth." column

A key symbol is shown in this column if proxy authentication has been activated for the respective proxy.

Add proxy

Adds an additional proxy to the list.

Delete proxy

Removes the highlighted entry from the list.

Authentication

Opens the Proxy authentication dialog.
