The On-Premises Connector must communicate with the Hybrid Data Pipeline service using the internet. If your network environment requires a proxy to access the public internet, you provide the proxy host name and port on the Proxy tab of the Configuration Tool and specify what type of proxy authentication to use. You might need to contact your network administrator to determine what proxy information you need to provide.

  1. Open the Configuration Tool, and click the Proxy tab. If you provided the proxy connection information when you installed the Connector, the fields are automatically populated with that information.
  2. Select the type of proxy authentication needed in your environment:
    • Select No Proxy Authentication if the proxy server does not require authentication.
    • Select HTTP Proxy Authentication if the proxy server requires that all requests be authenticated using the HTTP Basic authentication protocol.
    • Select NTML Proxy Authentication if the proxy server requires that all requests be authenticated using the NTLM authentication protocol.
  3. Provide the connection information for the proxy server. You may need to contact your network administrator for the proxy host name and port number, and if required, the proxy user name and password.

    Proxy Host specifies the Host name and, optionally, the domain of the proxy server. The value can be a host name, a fully qualified domain name, or an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

    Proxy Port specifies port number where the proxy server is listening.

    Proxy User specifies the user name needed to connect to the proxy server, if HTTP or NTLM authentication is specified. If NTLM authentication is specified, the user name must be in the form domain\user.

    Proxy Password specifies the password needed to connect to the proxy server, if you are using HTTP Basic or NTLM authentication.

  4. Click Save to persist your Proxy settings, as well as changes you made on other Configuration Tool tabs. If you save your settings, then close and reopen the Configuration tool, the saved settings are automatically repopulated.
  5. Click Close to exit the Configuration Tool.
