Description
Currently, in Chapter 5 Managing Engines under Configuring a Caching HTTP Proxy Server section we have documented that the Proxy can be used for Service init data and Grid library synchronization.
However, there is a way to have all Engine communications go through the Proxy sever.
Environment
Windows
Resolution
Here the steps you need to do on your engine host machine:
1. Stop the engine and delete the Profile and Work folders 2. Setup a Proxy server 3. Add environment variable DS_HTTP_PROXY = localhost:port 4. Start the Engine 5. Confirm that the engine communication is going through the proxy (using tools like JMeter, etc)
Note: It is strongly recommended that this be thoroughly tested in lower environment(s) first before making any changes in Production environment(s).
