Configuring the internet proxy

Learn how to configure the internet proxy for use with the on-premises Integration Server and webMethods Integration.

Procedure

When you use a proxy server for outbound requests from the on-premises Integration Server to webMethods Integration, configure the following options on the proxy server.
  • Allowed entries - If the proxy server employs a list of allowed URLs, add the URL for webMethods Integration. For more information about specifying the allowed entries for an internet proxy, see the documentation for the internet proxy that is used by your company.
  • Tunneling with HTTP CONNECT - To help ensure end-to-end encryption for TLS over HTTPS, configure the internet proxy to accept the HTTP CONNECT method. If the internet proxy does not accept HTTP CONNECT, a connection from the on-premises Integration Server to webMethods Integration through the proxy server can still be established but end-to-end encryption with TLS is not provided.
  • Long-running HTTP connections - Configure the proxy server to be friendly to long-running HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 connections, which might improve performance and limit latency.
