IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Enable the HTTP proxy server
Environments that use an HTTP proxy server require additional client configuration to enable URL access from the browser view in a Tivoli Enterprise Portal workspace.
To enable the HTTP proxy server, complete these steps on every computer where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client is used that also uses an HTTP proxy for the browser view:
Procedure
- Open a workspace that contains a browser view or add a browser view to the current workspace.
- In the browser view's address box, type: about:config
- In the filter field that appears at the top of the page, enter the following to see the network proxy fields: network.proxy
- Out of the reduced set shown, the following three entries are of interest. Double-click an entry or select it and press Enter to modify its values:
- network.proxy.http
- Enter the DNS identifier or the IP address of the proxy host to use for the HTTP protocol.
- network.proxy.http_port
- Enter 80, the default port number, or a different number used by the proxy host.
- network.proxy.no_proxies_on
- Append any fully qualified host names or IP addresses that should be accessed without the proxy. For example, this setting bypasses the proxy server for any files on your local system and on the portal server (myteps.uk.ibm.com) that are accessed from the browser view: localhost,127.0.0.1, myteps.uk.ibm.com.
Results
After you click OK on the property edit panel, the change is saved on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client.
