Configure Proxy Settings

Overview

If the AppsAnywhere appliance must use a proxy server to obtain outbound internet access, details of the proxy server address required can be defined.
These proxy server details will be used for all Appliance functions such as the System update (YUM) process.

Customer access to the appliance is only available via the hypervisor console (e.g. via vSphere or Hyper-V).

The Configure Proxy Settings section of the ACC allows view and define the required proxy server details.

The following options are documented below:

View Current Proxy Configuration

The View Current Proxy Configuration option displays the current HTTP, HTTPS and Proxy Exclusions that have been defined.
