8.1 Enabling Proxy Settings

Proxy servers act as intermediaries between client applications and other servers. In an enterprise setting, proxy servers provide control over the content consumed by the users across network boundaries.

NOTE:Ensure that you enable proxy settings in all the forwarders that require communication through proxy.

NOTE:Ensure that the proxy server allows port 1290 to communicate to regional servers configured in AWS.

To enable proxy settings:

  1. Add the following properties to /opt/arcsight/connectors/changeguardian/etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/server-custom.conf file

    • Dhttps.proxyHost=<proxy server IP/Hostname>

    • Dhttps.proxyPort=<proxy port no>

      Post addition of these properties, the server-custom.conf file will look like the below example:

      # Custom Server Properties
# Custom Java additional properties should start from 101
wrapper.java.additional.101=-Dhttps.proxyHost=192.168.0.1
wrapper.java.additional.102=-Dhttps.proxyPort=3128

      NOTE:If you are using an http proxy server, then use Dhttp instead of Dhttps while editing the file.

  2. Restart Change Guardian service using the command:

    rcsentinel restart
