Creating a proxy server alias

Learn how to create a proxy server alias.

About this task

If your company requires the use of a proxy server to establish outbound connections to applications located in the cloud, 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 that are needed to access the proxy server.

Procedure

  1. To configure a proxy server alias, go to External Servers > Proxy Servers in Integration Server Administrator. For more information about proxy servers and how to configure a proxy server, see the Integration Server Administrator's Guide.
  2. To create a proxy server alias for connecting to webMethods Integration, follow these steps.
    • 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 username and password that is required to access the proxy server.
