Products

• CA API Developer Portal

Issue/Introduction

Our gateway is behind a proxy and we need to connect the deployer service to connect through a proxy .

Environment

API Portal 5.x 

Resolution

You can set a proxy for the deployer service which is using a rabbitmq broker in the following way 

Configuration to Enable Http Proxy for MQTT broker(Paho MQTT client) add the following Cluster Wide Properties to Gateway.

portal.deployer.http.proxy.host 
portal.deployer.http.proxy.port
portal.deployer.http.proxy.user
portal.deployer.http.proxy.password

If your Http Proxy doesn't require authentication, leave "portal.deployer.http.proxy.user" and "portal.deployer.http.proxy.password"  blank.

Restart Portal Deployer service  by  switching the  CWP "portal.deployer.enabled" value from true to false and back to true.
