Accessing Backends Through a Proxy

The configuration server can access a Git or Vault backend through an HTTP or HTTPS proxy. This behavior is controlled for either Git or Vault by settings under proxy.http and proxy.https. These settings are per repository, so if you are using a composite environment repository you must configure proxy settings for each backend in the composite individually. If using a network which requires separate proxy servers for HTTP and HTTPS URLs, you can configure both the HTTP and the HTTPS proxy settings for a single backend: in this case http access will use http proxy and https access the https one. Also, you may specify one sole proxy that will be used for both protocols using the proxy definition protocol between application and proxy.

The following table describes the proxy configuration properties for both HTTP and HTTPS proxies. All of these properties must be prefixed by proxy.http or proxy.https.

Table 1. Proxy Configuration Properties
Property Name	Remarks
host	The host of the proxy.
port	The port with which to access the proxy.
nonProxyHosts	Any hosts which the configuration server should access outside the proxy. If values are provided for both `proxy.http.nonProxyHosts` and `proxy.https.nonProxyHosts`, the `proxy.http` value will be used.
username	The username with which to authenticate to the proxy. If values are provided for both `proxy.http.username` and `proxy.https.username`, the `proxy.http` value will be used.
password	The password with which to authenticate to the proxy. If values are provided for both `proxy.http.password` and `proxy.https.password`, the `proxy.http` value will be used.

The following configuration uses an HTTPS proxy to access a Git repository.
