Proxy configuration using environment variables

This documentation describes proxy configuration using environment variables.

HTTP_PROXY

To establish connections to any HTTP URLs through the REST adapter, you can set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable on the machine where IBM Sterling Transformation Extender is installed. This configuration allows the proxy server URL provided to be utilized for establishing connections.

Example: HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy-server-ip:port

HTTPS_PROXY

To establish connections to HTTPS URLs through the REST adapter, you can configure the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable on the machine where IBM Sterling Transformation Extender is installed. By setting this variable, the provided proxy server URL will be utilized for making connections to any HTTPS URLs.

Example: HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy-server-ip:port

NO_PROXY

To bypass the proxy server for specific URLs in the machine where IBM Sterling Transformation Extender is installed, you can set the NO_PROXY environment variable. This variable should be configured with a comma-separated list of URLs that do not need to be passed through the proxy server URL specified in HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY.

Example: NO_PROXY=localhost,some-domain.com

Note: For adding these flow variables in the docker installation, one must edit setenv.sh file in hip-server and hip-rest containers.
