How to disable or configure a proxy for Qlik Web Connectors

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

If users are behind a proxy, the Qlik Web Connector may return the following errors:

• 407 proxy authentication errors and
• 503 Service Unavailable

 

Environment:

Qlik Web Connectors 

Under these circumstances, the user has to configure the proxy from the deploy.config file, which is normally located in the root of your Qlik Web Connectors folder.

 

Disabling the proxy:

This is the best approach for Error 503 Service Unavailable errors. 

Open the deploy.config file, search for Proxy in order to locate the settings and configure them as below.

<Proxy>
    <UseProxy>false</UseProxy>
    <ProxyAddress></ProxyAddress>
    <ProxyUsername></ProxyUsername>
    <ProxyDomain></ProxyDomain>
    <ProxyPassword></ProxyPassword>
</Proxy>
 

Configuring the proxy - Setting it up to true:

This is the best approach for 407 proxy authentication errors. 

If you are behind a proxy you will just need to set UseProxy to true and you might need to enter the proxy credentials as below.

<Proxy>
    <UseProxy>true</UseProxy>
    <ProxyAddress>proxy.sub-domain.mymaindomain.com:port</ProxyAddress>
    <ProxyUsername>username</ProxyUsername>
    <ProxyDomain></ProxyDomain>
    <ProxyPassword>password</ProxyPassword>
</Proxy>

Hello @Sonja_Bauernfeind ,

How to setup proxy for google cloud storage bucket while connecting through Qlik's GCS bucket connector? Currently, internet access is disabled in the servers and hence cannot access the GCS bucket and don't want to set up the proxy at the servers level and restrict it to only Qlik connectors.

Thanks.

Does this changes will have any impact on other connections?
