    • You can configure the MID Server for Cloud Provisioning and Governance to use a proxy server. Using a proxy server supports all cloud-based activities such as running Discovery, billing downloads, provisioning virtual machines, and running life-cycle operations on virtual machines.

    Proxy server limitations

    • VMware Cloud is not supported.
    • Windows or Linux platforms only are supported.
    • The Google Cloud Console integration does not support downloading billing data.
    • Remote PowerShell scripts cannot be executed.
    • Custom APIs may not work.
    Remarque :

    SSH calls should not be routed through a proxy server, when using a private cloud environment that is on the same side of the proxy as the MID Server.

    Set mid.capi.skip_proxy_for_ssh to true to skip it. See MID Server properties used by Service Mapping for more information.

    mid.capi.skip_proxy_for_ssh:
    • Determines whether the MID Server skips the proxy server when routing SSH calls.
    • Type: true | false
    • Default value: false
