Abstract

Using Netcool/Impact GetHTTP Policy Function to Connect to HTTP Server Using Proxy Authentication

Body

Netcool/Impact 7.1.0 Fix Pack 03 supports connecting to a WebServer using Proxy Authentication.

The connection is using the built-in function GetHTTP with additional properties setting in the policy callProps object:

HttpProperties=NewObject();
HttpProperties.Content=body;
Headers = NewObject();
HttpProperties.UserId = Username;
HttpProperties.Password = Password;
//optional Password can be encrypted using Encrypt() function or nci_crypt script,
//if so the following property must be added:
HttpProperties.DecryptPassword = true;
// following section enables proxy redirect.
HttpProperties.UseProxy = true;
HttpProperties.ProxyHost = "localhost";
HttpProperties.ProxyPort = 8080;

 

The functionality was requested in RFE 73585
