Configure your proxy settings

If you are using a proxy server in your network, you must configure the proxy server in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.

Normal Proxy (with or without Credential) and Proxy with AD configuration, are supported by VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.

Prerequisites

You must have installed and configured a proxy server in your network before using it in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle and the proxy server IP should have a host name that is resolvable from VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance console.

Note:

• If you are unable to configure proxy in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, ensure that ICMP is allowed from VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle to the Proxy host and that there are forward and reverse DNS entries for the Proxy host.
• If the proxy server does not have a resolvable host name, then the procedure to add proxy fails.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Lifecycle Operations and click Settings.
2. Click Proxy.
3. Toggle Configure Proxy to use a proxy server for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, or deselect it to remove an existing proxy server.
   VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle does not save proxy server settings when you disable proxy.
4. If you are enabling proxy, enter the Server, Port, User name, and Credential.
5. Click Save.
   If VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle is already configured to use a proxy server, those proxy details are displayed.
