How do I use a proxy server to allow EdgeVis Server to connect to CLS?

Updated over a week ago

Introduction

Your EdgeVis Server will connect to the Central Licensing Service using standard web protocols (SSL over port 443). Many organisations require all web traffic to go through a proxy server, and consequently block direct access to the internet for all standard web traffic.

By default, EdgeVis Server will attempt to directly connect to CLS.

Steps

  1. Install EdgeVis Server using the standard installation instructions but stop before logging into the server for the first time.
    ​

  2. Open the server's main configuration file in a text editor:
    ​ (you may need to elevate to be granted permission to edit a system file)

    1. Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\EdgeVis Server\bin\config.ini

    2. Linux: /opt/edgevis-server/config.ini
      ​

  3. Set proxy_uri=http://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>
    ​

  4. Restart the service:

    1. Windows: Restart via EdgeVis Server service via the Windows Services control panel

    2. Linux: systemctl restart edgevis-server
      ​

  5. Log into the server and enter the server code obtained from the relevant CLS.
