Within STEP, several HTTP-based outbound delivery methods for outbound integration endpoints (OIEPs), receiver methods for inbound integration endpoints (IIEPs), and gateway integration endpoints (GIEPs), include the ability to add HTTP proxy configuration settings via a dropdown parameter. The HTTP proxy configuration option, when applicable, provides an extra layer of security and privacy for users that require it.
The endpoints that incorporate this option include:
- Microsoft Azure Blob Storage (GIEP)
- Product Data Exchange (IIEP & OIEP)
- REST (OIEP)
- REST Direct (OIEP)
- SalesforceREST (GIEP)
- Salesforce Merge Delivery (OIEP)
- Salesforce Receiver (IIEP)
- Salesforce Update Delivery (OIEP)
Defining HTTP proxy configurations
HTTP proxy configurations are defined via properties saved in the sharedconfig.properties file. Multiple HTTP proxy configurations can be made by giving them different names. Each HTTP proxy configuration has its own property for Host, Port, User, and Password.
For example, an HTTP proxy configuration with the name 'Sample1' can be defined as follows:
Http.ProxyConfiguration.Sample1.Host=localhost Http.ProxyConfiguration.Sample1.Port=8080 Http.ProxyConfiguration.Sample1.User=user Http.ProxyConfiguration.Sample1.Password=password
In the image below, 'Sample1' is the selected HTTP proxy configuration for the Product Data Exchange IIEP receiver.
