Proxy Settings for Pre-builts

Some network enviroments are set up to have a proxy between the IAP server and the Internet. For those environments, Itential provides proxy support for both HTTP and HTTPS.

To fetch available Pre-builts from the Itential OpenSource Registry with a proxy server:

Set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable in the session where IAP is started.

Example

export HTTP_PROXY=http://insecure-proxy.uat.domain.io:3128

Example

export HTTPS_PROXY=https://internal-proxy.uat.domain.io:3128

Optionally, set the username:password for authentication. If an authenticated proxy is not required, skip this setting.

Example
```
export HTTPS_PROXY=https://username:password@proxy.uat.itential.io:3128
```
Restart IAP to accept the settings.
