Configuring Proxy Server Settings
When the Content Acquirer cannot directly access the origin server, because the origin server is set up
to allow access only by a specified proxy server, you can configure acquisition through a proxy server.
When a proxy server is configured for the Content Acquirer, the Content Acquirer contacts the proxy
server instead of the origin server, and all requests to that origin server go through the proxy server.
Note Content acquisition through a proxy server is supported only for HTTP requests.
Note Before configuring a proxy server, verify that the Content Acquirer is able to ping the proxy server. If
the proxy is not servicing the configured port, you will get the message: “failed: Connection refused.”
To configure a proxy server for content items identified using the CDSM, do the following:
Step 1 From the Content Table page, click the Manage Host and Proxy Settings icon in the task bar.
The Content Hosts Table page is displayed, listing all previously created host URLs, the number of
content items for each host, and a proxy server (if configured).
To return to the Content Table page, click Return to Content Listing.
Step 2 Check the check box next to each host you want to configure with a proxy server.
Step 3 Click Manage Proxy for Selected Hosts. The Proxy Server page is displayed.
Under the Defining Proxy Server for the Following Hosts heading, a bulleted list of host servers is
displayed for which proxy servers are being configured.
Step 4 In the Proxy Server Specifications area, enter the settings as appropriate. See Table 5-8 for a description
of the fields.
