Configuring an HTTP proxy for discovery connector nodes

Configure an HTTP proxy for a discovery connector node by using an HTTP Proxy policy.

Configure an HTTP proxy for a discovery connector node by completing the following steps:

1. Create a credential to be used for authenticating the connection, by using the mqsicredentials command. The credential must have a type of httpproxy.
   For example:

   
   mqsicredentials --create --ext-vault-dir c:\temp\credential -ext-vault-key myvaultkey --credential-type httpproxy 
   --credential-name httpseccred --username proxyUser --password proxyPassword

2. Create an HTTP Proxy policy and set the HTTP Proxy URL property to specify the full URL of the HTTP proxy server. Use the Credential name property to specify the name of the credential that will be used for the connection, with a type of httpproxy.
   For example:

   
3. Configure the discovery connector node to use the HTTP Proxy policy, by editing the policy that contains the connection details of the node (such as the Microsoft Azure Blob Storage policy specified on a Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Request node), and set the Proxy name property to the name of the HTTP Proxy policy that you created in step 2, in the format {policyProjectName}:policyName.
   For example:

   
4. Optional: You can also specify an HTTP Proxy policy during connector discovery, by using the Connector Discovery wizard. In this case, you specify the name of the HTTP Proxy policy in the Proxy name property, and the HTTP proxy is used to create the connection. For example:

   
5. Deploy the policies with the message flow.
