Creating a Proxy Server Alias

About this task

If your company requires use of a proxy server for establishing outbound connections to applications located in the cloud, then you need to configure a proxy server alias for your on-premises Integration Server. A proxy server alias identifies the proxy server and the port on the proxy server through which you want to route requests and any credentials needed to access the proxy server.

When creating a proxy server alias for use for connection to IBM webMethods Integration, you must do the following:

Specify the proxy server alias as the default proxy server alias.
Specify the proxy host and port number.
Set the protocol to HTTPS.
If the proxy server is configured for basic authentication, the proxy server alias must specify the user name and password required to access the proxy server.

You configure a proxy server alias using the External servers > Proxy servers page in Integration Server Administrator. For detailed information about proxy servers and how to configure a proxy server, see the IBM webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide .
