You must modify the Java™ virtual
machine (JVM) so that Apache Tomcat can use an HTTP/TCP proxy. You
can do this change by setting some JVM options in the Tomcat startup
script.
About this task
To configure Apache Tomcat to use the HTTP/TCP
proxy:
Procedure
- Configure the Tomcat startup script (%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat,
if you use Microsoft Windows; or $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh,
if you use Unix-like systems), with the JAVA_OPTS variable
to set HTTP/TCP proxy properties as follows:
SET JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dhttp.proxyHost=<Host name or IP address of HTTP/TCP proxy> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<Port number specified during installation of Quaiity Server and/or editing registration.xml file, for example, 3128>
- Save and close the file.
- Restart Tomcat for the changes to take effect.
Note: If you are setting up a HTTP/TCP proxy
to support HTTPS, the properties are https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort.
