Hi Dojo,
In our setup, internet is available on a DMA but only via a proxy. Is there a way to configure the proxy in a DataMiner agent to allow it connection to DataMiner Cloud?
Thank you!
Hi,
The DataMiner processes connecting to the cloud are running as System account by default, so you should configure the proxy settings of this user. I haven’t done that myself yet, so not sure if this will all work…
Here you can find more info on configuring the proxy setting for the system account: How to set up a proxy for Local System account at the machine level (gsx.com)
And also make sure you exclude localhost in the exceptions list.
I hope this will work. It’s also on our backlog to configure proxy settings in a DataMiner settings file.

Indeed, it seems like it is not possible to specify a username and password in Windows. Probably this is typically authenticated with a domain account when using this in a user session, but here we are working with the system account… Isn’t it possible to allow unauthenticated access on the proxy server from that IP? Otherwise I don’t immediately see a workaround…
A different workaround is to run the DataMiner CloudGateway services as a different user (not LocalSystem), I found the proxy settings are then applied as well. You can do this in the Service Manager in the Properties window of the applicable services.
Hi,
This post is just to let you know that the latest version of the Cloud Pack now has built-in support for proxying the traffic between DataMiner & the cloud. Meaning there’s no more need to proxy the traffic on the system level. For more information, please refer to Connection to the cloud via proxy.
how to put the proxy address?
I tried http://user:pass@proxy:port but cloudgateway service doesn’t start.
In log there is System.Exception: Proxy was enabled but the Address was not a valid HostString with a Port.
Hi Bert,
I need authentication on proxy and in this method it seems not possible.
