Configure a network proxy in
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

As an admin, you can configure
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
with a network proxy that acts as a security barrier between your internal network and external resources, such as the internet. The network proxy inspects incoming and outgoing traffic to filter out malicious content and protect your internal network from threats.
  • Verify that you have the name of the proxy server and proxy port.
The following procedure shows how to configure a network proxy that filters for
  1. Log in to

    page appears.
    1. Check the
      Configure Network Proxy
      box.
    2. Provide the information for:
      • Server. Proxy server name, such as
        proxy.example.com
        .
      • Port. Proxy server port., such as
        1234
        .
      • Credential. (optional) Click
        Select Credential
        to select a password from the locker or click the plus sign to create a new password. See Manage passwords for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle products.
      • Exclusion List. A list of hostnames, domains, or IP addresses that should not be accessed through the proxy server. Traffic to destinations on the exclusion list bypasses the proxy and connects directly to target servers. For example, if your list includes
        example1.domain.com
        , the network proxy does not screen internet traffic between that hostname and your internal network.
        Adding destinations to exclude ensures that outbound notifications are triggered correctly.
