Need User Root of Vaap to configure http_proxy and https_proxy variables

Products

• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

Needing root user access in the Vapp QA and Test environments to configure new OS variables:

http_proxy and https_proxy

Environment

Release : 14.4

Cause

Nobody has access to root user of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration Virtual Appliance as posted in Monitoring Virtual Appliance documentation available here . So  will not able to update the file /etc/profile of Vaap to put the variable http_proxy/https_proxy

Resolution

One alternative is to setup the variables http_proxy and https_proxy inside of config user's initialization file .bashrc as shows in following example:

config@MYHOST-iga-vapp2 VAPP-14.4.2 (XX.XX.XX.XXX):~ > env | grep http_proxy
http_proxy=http://<my internet proxy IP Address>:8080/

config@MYHOST-iga-vapp2 VAPP-14.4.2 (XX.XX.XX.XXX):~ > cat .bashrc
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific environment
if ! [[ "$PATH" =~ "$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:" ]]
then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
export PATH

# Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature:
# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=

# User specific aliases and functions

http_proxy=http://<my internet proxy IP Address>:8080/
export http_proxy
