If you are using platform services or Cloud Storage Pools, you can configure a non-transparent proxy between Storage Nodes and the external S3 endpoints. For example, you might need a non-transparent proxy to allow platform services messages to be sent to external endpoints, such as an endpoint on the internet.

Note Configured storage proxy settings do not apply to Kafka platform services endpoints.
Before you begin
About this task

You can configure the settings for a single storage proxy.

Steps

  1. Select CONFIGURATION > Security > Proxy settings.

  2. On the Storage tab, select the Enable storage proxy checkbox.

  3. Select the protocol for the storage proxy.

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

  5. Optionally, enter the port used to connect to the proxy server.

    Leave this field blank to use the default port for the protocol: 80 for HTTP or 1080 for SOCKS5.

  6. Select Save.

    After the storage proxy is saved, new endpoints for platform services or Cloud Storage Pools can be configured and tested.

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

  7. Check the settings of your proxy server to ensure that platform service-related messages from StorageGRID will not be blocked.

  8. If you need to disable a storage proxy, clear the checkbox, and select Save.
