B2B Integration 10.4 | Administering and Monitoring B2B Transactions | Managing File Transfers with ActiveTransfer | Administering ActiveTransfer with Command Central | Managing Proxy Servers | Proxy Server Alias Usage Scenarios
 
Proxy Server Alias Usage Scenarios
ActiveTransfer supports proxy server alias in the following two scenarios:
*When you configure a virtual folder that points to an external remote server. The connection to the remote server is routed through the proxy server alias specified in the virtual folder configuration.
*When you configure a task for an action that requires a connection to an external remote server.
In both these scenarios, you can either configure the virtual folder or task for an action to use a specific proxy server alias or use the default proxy server alias setup in ActiveTransfer or Integration Server. For information on default proxy server aliases in Integration Server, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
Parameter location
Parameter name
Description
ActiveTransfer
mft.client.outbound.useProxy
Set this parameter in Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name \packages\WmMFT\config\properties.cnf.
The parameter determines if proxy server settings are enabled in ActiveTransfer.
*true: ActiveTransfer uses the proxy server configured and based on the value set for watt.net.proxy.fallbackToDirectConnection, ActiveTransfer connects to the remote server without using the proxy server or result in a failed connection.
*false: ActiveTransfer does not use the proxy server even if it is configured.
Integration Server
watt.net.proxy.fallbackToDirectConnection
Set this parameter in Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\config directory\cnfserver.cnf.
The parameter determines how ActiveTransfer handles connections through proxy servers:
*true: ActiveTransfer establishes a direct connection to the remote server when ActiveTransfer is not able to connect to the remote server through the proxy server.
*false: ActiveTransfer treats the connection attempt as failed.
Integration Server
watt.net.proxySkipList
Set this parameter in Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\config directory\cnfserver.cnf.
If the IP address of the remote server is in this list, ActiveTransfer ignores the proxy server alias and connects directly to the remote server.
Integration Server
watt.net.proxy.useNonDefaultProxies
Set this parameter in Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\config directory\cnfserver.cnf.
The parameter determines how ActiveTransfer must handle the absence of default proxy sever aliases.
*true: ActiveTransfer selects any proxy server alias enabled for the protocol.
*false: ActiveTransfer treats the connection attempt as failed.
For information about the parameters, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
