Configuring a Proxy Server on Linux

This procedure describes how to configure a proxy server for Control-M components on Linux.

Begin

  1. On the host machine, define the following environment variables through the profile and set their values to the proxy server address and port:

    • HTTP_PROXY

    • HTTPS_PROXY

    The environment variables are not case sensitive, even though other applications, such as wget, require lower case.

    Values must be in the following format:

    {protocol}://{host}:{port}

    On a bash shell, use an export command to add the following variable to <HOME>/.bash_profile.

    HTTP_PROXY=http://172.19.0.169:3128

    To check that the value is set, exit and re-enter the shell, and then run the following command:

    env | grep HTTP_PROXY

  2. (Optional) Exclude specific hosts or destination ports from communication through the proxy server by defining the NO_PROXY environment variable with a comma-separated list of hosts. Items in the list can be hostnames, IP addresses, or CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notations.

    NO_PROXY=hostname.example.com,10.1.0.0/16,172.30.0.0/16:443

Configuring a Proxy Server on Windows

This procedure describes how to configure a proxy server for Control-M components on Windows.

  2. Click Internet Options, and on the Connections tab, click LAN settings.

  3. Select Use a proxy server and enter valid values in the Address and Port fields.

    Address: 172.19.0.169

    Port: 3128

  4. (Optional) Exclude specific hosts from communication through the proxy server by clicking Advanced and typing your list of exceptions with semicolons between entries.
