Configuring a proxy

You can configure the proxy settings in your CMS Portal.

Before you begin

You must have administrator access to the CMS Portal to complete this task.
Note: This module synchronizes the credentials of applications that are created by consumers in the CMS Portal site UI. It cannot synchronize the credentials for applications that are created by the provider in the API Manager UI.

About this task

The CMS Portal communicates with the management server by way of the consumer and product APIs. For a CMS Portal that is deployed externally to the management server zone, and does not have access to the consumer and product APIs, a proxy can be used.

Procedure

To configure a proxy to use for communicating with management server APIs, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to the CMS Portal as an administrator.
  2. If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
  3. Click Configuration > System > IBM CMS Portal in the administrator dashboard.
  4. To configure a proxy, select Enable Proxy Support, and make the required changes.
    Proxy configuration options
  5. When your changes are complete, click Save configuration.

Results

You successfully configured a proxy on your CMS Portal.
