Configuring Proxy Settings

The license server can access the Internet via a proxy to activate, return, and update its licenses. The proxy server is specified by its address and port number.

Proxy settings are configured using the pcoip-configure-proxy command. Only a user with superuser privileges may invoke this command.

Configure and Use a Proxy

Use pcoip-configure-proxy with -s and the following information:

  • The address and port number of the proxy server, formatted as <address>:<port>.
  • If the proxy server requires authentication, provide the username and password with the -u and -p options.

For example, to configure the license server to proxy internet traffic via a proxy server at proxy.domain.local on port 1234:

sudo pcoip-configure-proxy -s proxy.domain.local:1234

This example configures the license server to proxy internet traffic via a proxy server at 192.168.0.12 on port 10443, and provides credentials using -u and -p.

sudo pcoip-configure-proxy -s 192.168.0.12:10443 -u username -p password

View Proxy Settings

Use pcoip-configure-proxy with -v. For example:

sudo pcoip-configure-proxy -v

Validate Proxy Settings

Check the pcoip-license-server.log file in /var/log/HPAnywareLicenseServer/. If it contains an error message related to making a connection to FlexNet Operations, the proxy settings are incorrect.

If the proxy is working, the log will contain Updated Features or Updated License Server Instance messages.

You can view proxy settings by running the following command:

sudo pcoip-configure-proxy -v

Clear Proxy Settings

To clear proxy settings, which will stop the HP Anyware License Server from using a proxy, use pcoip-configure-proxy with -c. For example:

bash sudo pcoip-configure-proxy -c
