Enabling an HTTP Proxy Server in Cryptographic Security Platform Vault

If Cryptographic Security Platform Vault does not have direct access to the internet, you can configure an HTTP proxy server to use for BYOK.

Note: The proxy settings affect the entire Cryptographic Security Platform Vault and also apply to all the vaults that you create.

  1. Log into the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault Management webGUI using an account with Security Admin privileges.
  2. In the top right, click the Switch to Appliance Management link.
  3. In the top menu bar, click Settings.
  4. In the System Settings section, click Proxy Settings.
  5. On the Proxy Settings page, specify the following: 

    • On the Basic tab, enter the IP/Hostname and the port number for the HTTP proxy server.
    • On the Advanced tab, optionally enter the username and password for the HTTP proxy server.

    Note: If your HTTP proxy server is configured without authorization, then you do not need to enter a username and password. We recommend that you use authentication.

  6. When you are finished, click Apply.
