Configure the engine to use a web proxy

Configure an engine proxy in Cortex XSOAR 8.13 On-prem.

Proxy settings can be configured in an engine by adding them as an engine configuration.

Note

You need to configure Docker to use a proxy. When using a BlueCoat proxy, ensure you encode the values correctly.

1. On the machine on which you installed the engine, navigate to d1.conf.

Add the following keys:

Key	Value	Description
http_proxy	http://``<user:password@proxy-server:port#> For example http://user:password@proxy-server:3128	Environment uses http proxy. Special characters must be escaped.
https_proxy	https://``user:password@proxy-server:port# For example, https://user:password@proxy-server:3128	Environment uses https proxy. Special characters must be escaped.
no_proxy	http://``<user:password@proxy-server:port#> For example http://user:password@proxy-server:3128	For specific addresses, a proxy bypass will by applied. Special characters must be escaped.

1. If the environment variables are not set, or you wish to use a different settings than those specified in the environment variables, set the configuration with your specific proxy details in the d1.conf file. For example:

   {"http_proxy": "http://proxy.host.local:8080",
   "https_proxy": "https://proxy.host.local:8443"
   "no_proxy": "https://proxy.host.local:8020"}

2. Save the file.

3. On the machine where you installed the engine, navigate to the upgrade.conf file and edit the file to set https_proxy to your proxy address. For example, https_proxy="https://proxy.host.local:8443".

   Note

   In a environment with a single engine, go to /usr/local/demisto/upgrade.conf. In an environment with multiple engines, go to /usr/local/demisto/<engine-name>/upgrade.conf, replacing <engine-name> with the name of the engine.

   Note that the key in the upgrade.conf file must be https_proxy, even if your proxy address starts with http://.

4. Save the file.
