Issue
- What are the proxy configurations to be done at Liferay to bypass the proxy available in the network?
Environment
- Liferay Portal 6.2
- Liferay DXP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4
Resolution
-
The configurations done at Liferay side to configure proxy are listed below,
-
Adding these properties in system-ext.properties (its path is ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/system-ext.properties).
# See portal.properties for more HTTP settings.
#
#
# Set the location of the HTTP proxy that the portal will use to fetch
# external content.
#
# Set http.nonProxyHosts for hosts that will not be proxied. This is useful
# for proxied environments where you need direct access to internal servers.
# This should follow the same semantics as the java.net package.
#
http.proxyHost=192.168.0.200
http.proxyPort=4480
http.nonProxyHosts=192.168.0.250
These are the properties to be set to bypass the proxy which is available in the network.
-
In addition to this, if there is HTTP proxy authentication, then set the below properties in portal-ext.properties with respective credentials.
# Set user name and password used for HTTP proxy authentication.
#
# Env: LIFERAY_COM_PERIOD_LIFERAY_PERIOD_PORTAL_PERIOD_UTIL_PERIOD__UPPERCASEH_TTP_UPPERCASEI_MPL_PERIOD_PROXY_PERIOD_PASSWORD
# Env: LIFERAY_COM_PERIOD_LIFERAY_PERIOD_PORTAL_PERIOD_UTIL_PERIOD__UPPERCASEH_TTP_UPPERCASEI_MPL_PERIOD_PROXY_PERIOD_USERNAME
#
com.liferay.portal.util.HttpImpl.proxy.username=
com.liferay.portal.util.HttpImpl.proxy.password=
Note: Since DXP 7.4 Update 23 these properties have been renamed to:
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.Http.proxy.username=
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.Http.proxy.password=
- Please note: Perform this activity in application server downtime, because this step requires the restart of the server.
