Using an HTTP Proxy with Compute Resources

In some cases, the EC2 compute resource that you use might require a specific HTTP proxy to communicate with {Project}. In {Project}, you can create an HTTP proxy and then assign the HTTP proxy to your EC2 compute resource.

However, if you configure an HTTP proxy for {Project} in Administer > Settings, and then add another HTTP proxy for your compute resource, the HTTP proxy that you define in Administer > Settings takes precedence.

Procedure

1. In the {ProjectWebUI}, navigate to Infrastructure > HTTP Proxies, and select New HTTP Proxy.

2. In the Name field, enter a name for the HTTP proxy.

3. In the URL field, enter the URL for the HTTP proxy, including the port number.

4. Optional: Enter a username and password to authenticate to the HTTP proxy, if your HTTP proxy requires authentication.

5. Click Test Connection to ensure that you can connect to the HTTP proxy from {Project}.

6. Click the Locations tab and add a location.

7. Click the Organization tab and add an organization.

8. Click Submit.
