It can be configured proxy settings. This is required when CAS can not directly communicate to the internet. However, what services are proxied ?

Resolution

CAS : Required Ports, Protocols, and Services

It can be accessed via HTTP(s) to some services such as license validation. It can not be accessed via NOT HTTPS(s),  NOT TCP. e.g: SMTP is not proxied via HTTP(s), and SNMP trap is not TCP, but UDP.

*Most HTTP(s) communications are defined to Required URLs.

And another services not shown in above documents are File upload via FTP/SFTP. This is similar to Symantec Reporter Service, and it is possible to upload to FTP based file server via proxy.
