Configure Proxy Server

Sometimes, the VPC in which the GigaVUE-FM is launched may not have access to the Internet. Without Internet access, GigaVUE-FM cannot connect to the AWS API endpoints. For GigaVUE-FM to connect to AWS, a proxy server must be configured to communicate with the public AWS API endpoints.

Note:  To configure the proxy server, you must be a user with fm_super_admin role or a user with write access to the Infrastructure Management category.

To create a proxy server:

  1. Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > AWS and then click Settings.
  2. From the Settings drop-down list, select Proxy Server Configuration.
  3. Click Add. The Configure Proxy Server page is displayed.
  4. In the Alias field, enter a name for the proxy server.
  5. In the Host field, enter the hostname or IP address of the proxy server.
  6. In the Port field, enter the port number used by the proxy server for connecting to the Internet(0–65535).
  7. (Optional) In the Username field, enter the proxy server username.
  8. In the Password field, enter the password for the proxy server.
  9. (Optional) To use NTLM authentication:
    • Select the NTLM checkbox.
    • Enter the Domain name of the client accessing the proxy server.
    • Enter the Workstation name or the computer accessing the proxy server.
  10. Click Save. The new proxy server configuration is added to the Proxy Server Configuration page. The proxy server is also listed in the AWS Connection page.
