how to connect to salesforce using proxy

slim_liu — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 07:42:40 GMT

I have deploy qlik replicate to red hat server (version : 7.5); The linux server must use proxy when connect to saleforce sandbox mode (https://test.salesforce.com) ;

But When I created a salesforce source endpoint , i encounter "connection failed" problem;

Did qlik replicate not use system proxy when connected to salesforce?

how can i solve this problem ? thanks!

Thank you for this question.

Unfortunately currently, Replicate doesn't support using a proxy to connect to salesforce.

Please submit this as an idea so that we will consider this enhancement in the future.

Hi @slim_liu , @MarinaEmbon ,

As Marina pointed out there is no direct way to connect to salesforce via Proxy in Replicate. however as you know already define an OS variable is a perfect WorkAround:

export HTTPS_PROXY=https://<ip>:<port>

you can add it to "site_arep_login.sh" script file so far it will be called automatically.

Regards,

John.

Hi John,

How could i do this in Windows? I can't find the script you mentioned above in Windows server.

Hello @Bing_lian ,

On Windows you may use "set" command, for example:

set HTTP_PROXY=https://username:pwd@proxy.company.com:8080 set HTTPS_PROXY=https://username:pwd@proxy.company.com:8080

Reference article:

Use the Salesforce CLI from Behind a Company Firewall or Web Proxy

Hope this helps.

Regards,

John.
