You must modify the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) so that Apache Tomcat can use an HTTP/TCP proxy. You can configure Apache Tomcat by configuring JVM options in the Tomcat startup script.
You must have the required privileges to edit the Apache Tomcat startup script.
-
Locate the Tomcat startup script.
The location of the script depends on the OS you are using. The location can be as follows:
- In Microsoft™
Windows™, at %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat
- In Unix-like systems, at $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
-
Open the catalina.sh file for editing and add the following JAVA_OPTS option for the proxy:
JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=<Hostname or IP address of HTTP/TCP proxy>-Dhttp.proxyPort=<Port number specified during installation>-Dhttps.proxyHost=<Hostname or IP address of HTTP/TCP proxy>-Dhttp.proxyPort=<Port number specified during installation>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/opt/tomcat/bin/greenhat.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=passphrase"Note: If you are setting up a HTTP/TCP proxy to support both HTTP and
HTTPS, use the properties as http.proxyHost for the HTTP proxy and https.proxyPort for the HTTPS proxy.
For example, if you have installed
Rational® Test Control
Panel on a computer with the IP address as 101.25.87.99 and are using the default port 3128 for both HTTP and HTTPS, the options you set in the catalina.sh file are as follows:
JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=101.25.87.99 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttps.proxyHost=101.25.87.99 -Dhttps.proxyPort=3128 -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/opt/tomcat/bin/greenhat.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=passphrase"
- Save and close the file.
- Restart Tomcat for the changes to take effect.
