Creating a Proxy Server Alias

About this task

Proxy server alias names must be unique across protocols. In other words, you cannot have proxy server aliases of the same name but of different protocols. For example, you can have only one proxy server alias named “myProxy” across the HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or SOCKS protocols.

To create a proxy server alias

Procedure

  1. Open the Integration Server Administrator.
  2. Go to External servers > Proxy servers.
  3. Click Create Proxy Server Alias.
  4. Under Proxy Server Alias Properties, provide information in the following fields:
    For this parameter Specify
    Alias The alias name to use for this host/port combination.
    Host Name or IP Address The host name or IP address of the proxy server.
    Port Number The port on which this proxy server listens for requests.
    User Name (optional) The user name Integration Server must use when accessing this proxy server.
    Password (optional) The password Integration Server must use to access this proxy server.
    Protocol The type of protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or SOCKS) to use for the host/port combination.
    Proxy Type

    If you select FTP, additional parameters appear to help you configure the Proxy Type. For requests that the proxy server will be forwarding to an FTP server, you must specify the following information:

    • The name of the FTP server
    • The name of a user on the FTP server
    • The password for that user.

    The method you use to send this information to the FTP proxy server depends on the type of proxy server you have. Integration Server supports the following proxy server types:

     

    0. No proxy

    Do not use an FTP proxy server. This is the default.

    1. ftp_user@ftp_host no proxy auth

    Connect to the proxy server, but do not log into it. Then send the following: 

    USER ftp_user@ftp_host   
PASS ftp_password
     

    2. ftp_user@ftp_host proxy auth

    Connect to the proxy server, and log into it with: 

    USER proxy_user   
PASS proxy_password

    Then send the following: 

    USER ftp_user@ftp_host   
PASS ftp_password
     

    3. site command

    Connect to the proxy server, and log into it with: 

    USER proxy_user   
PASS proxy_password

    Then send the following: 

    SITE ftp_host   
USER ftp_user   
PASS ftp_password
     

    4. open command

    Connect to the proxy server, and log into it with: 

    USER proxy_user   
PASS proxy_password

    Then send the following: 

    OPEN ftp_host   
USER ftp_user   
PASS ftp _password
     

    5. ftp_user@proxy_user@ftp_host

    Connect to the proxy server and log into it. Then send the following: 

    USER ftp_user@proxy_user@ftp_host   
PASS ftp_password@proxy_password
     

    6. proxy_user@ftp_host

    Connect to the proxy server, and log into it with: 

    USER proxy_user@ftp_host   
PASS proxy_password

    Then send the following: 

    USER ftp_user   
PASS ftp_password
     

    7. ftp_user@ftp_host proxy_user

    Connect to the proxy server, but do not log into it. Then send the following: 

    USER ftp_user@ftp_host proxy_user   
PASS ftp_password   
ACCT proxy_password
    SOCKS Version If you select SOCKS as the protocol, additional parameters appear to help you configure the SOCKS version. Select SOCKS v4or SOCKS v5 based on what version of SOCKS protocol you would like to use to connect to the proxy server.
    Note: SOCKS protocol version 4 does not support authentication. Do not specify authentication credentials (i.e. username and password) if you select SOCKS protocol version 4.
    Default Whether this proxy server alias should be the default proxy server alias for its protocol type or not. Click Yes or No. Only one default proxy server alias can be set for each protocol type.
