You can configure the timeout value in seconds for testing a connection to an SDDC proxied host. You can allow the attached vCenter Server instances to be both tenant-scoped and provider-scoped, that is one vCenter Server instance can back both a provider VDC and a dedicated vCenter Server instance. You can allow proxying over insecure HTTP in addition to HTTPS.
