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).
