Configuring Web Proxies

In
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
, you can configure web proxies to connect to other entities (data sources, cloud service platforms, and so on) when the connection is made over the Internet.

Supported Web Proxies

In
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
, you can add the following types of web proxies:
  • HTTP and HTTPS unauthenticated web proxy
  • HTTP and HTTPS authenticated web proxy with the basic authentication
  • HTTP web proxy with the NTLM authentication supported through CLI only.
    If you set NTLM authentication-based web proxy using CLI on a platform VM, then the platform VM cannot communicate with Cloud Service Providers (CSP). This is because currently, we do not support communication with CSP using NTLM web proxy.

Collector Migration for Web Proxies

Before migrating collector to version 6.1, if you set a web proxy on the collector using CLI, and if you set the flag
isHttpProxyEnabled = TRUE
, then all the data sources which were reachable through the web proxy, work seamlessly after the migration to 6.1 as the system auto applies the web proxy details to these data source configurations.
During Collector migration to version 6.1, if you set a web proxy on the collector using CLI, and if you set the flag
isHttpProxyEnabled = FALSE
 then Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure data sources may not work after migration. You have to select a web proxy for both Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure data sources from the
Accounts and Data Sources
page. See Supported Public Cloud Accounts for details.
