Synopsis
This article covers how to configure EDS distribution servers to replicate files with the administration server when they need to go through a proxy server.
Discussion
To configure the distribution server to use a proxy server you will need to add the "http_proxy" or "https_proxy" string to the [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Replication Agent\CurrentVersion] key in the registry e.g.
"https_proxy"= "https://1.2.3.4:80"
"https_proxy"= "https://1.2.3.4:80"
Just substitute 1.2.3.4 with the IP Address or host name of your proxy server and 80 for the proxy port. To determine which string to use; look to the parent server i.e. if the administration server uses https then use "https_proxy" otherwise "http_proxy".
For the agent you may also need to enter the string in the Common key for the agent to use the proxy server as well.
Additional Information
A common error that is seen in the log file if this process is required is:
"Download failure: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
