If you send AutoSupport packages using HTTP or HTTPS, you can configure a non-transparent proxy server between Admin Nodes and technical support (AutoSupport).

For more information about AutoSupport, see Configure AutoSupport.

Before you begin
About this task

You can configure the settings for a single admin proxy.

Steps

  1. Select CONFIGURATION > Security > Proxy settings.

    The Proxy Settings page appears. By default, Storage is selected in the tab menu.

  2. Select the Admin tab.

  3. Select the Enable Admin Proxy checkbox.

  4. Enter the hostname or IP address of the proxy server.

  5. Enter the port used to connect to the proxy server.

  6. Optionally, enter a username and password for the proxy server.

    Leave these fields blank if your proxy server does not require a username or a password.

  7. Select one of the following:

    • If you want to secure the connection to the admin proxy, select Verify certificate. Upload a CA bundle to verify the authenticity of SSL certificates presented by the admin proxy server.

      Caution AutoSupport on Demand, E-Series AutoSupport through StorageGRID, and Update Path determination on the StorageGRID Upgrade page will not work if a proxy certificate is verified.

      After you upload the CA bundle, its metadata appears.

    • If you don't want to validate certificates when communicating with the admin proxy server, select Do not verify certificate.

  8. Select Save.

    After the admin proxy is saved, the proxy server between Admin Nodes and technical support is configured.

    Note Proxy changes can take up to 10 minutes to take effect.

  9. If you need to disable the admin proxy, clear the Enable Admin Proxy checkbox, and then select Save.
