Hi all,
We are currently trying to register an on-prem DMA with DataMiner Services after installation, among other things to enable STaaS.
One special aspect of this setup is that the registration must be performed through a proxy server (without authentication).
There is an organization with a valid API key and a registered admin email address, and as far as we know, all prerequisites have been met. For example:
Firewall rules have been configured according to the documentation:
- https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Administrator_guide/Security/About_DMS_Security/Cloud_connectivity_and_security.html#connecting-to-dataminerservices
- The proxy server has been configured in C:\ProgramData\Skyline Communications\DxMs Shared\appsettings.proxy.json
- Other known prerequisites have been checked as well
However, the registration of DataMiner Services and STaaS during installation fails with the following error message:

The output of ConnectionTester.exe shows mostly successful checks, except for a few BadRequest entries at the beginning. We are not sure whether these are expected or if they indicate a problem:

Thanks!
Hi Jörg, unfortunately the configurator is an independent tool and doesn't use any of the proxy information you configured for the DxMs. Could you try configuring the proxy on server level?

You're welcome Jörg! Happy to know it's working now.
Hi Wouter, many thanks for the suggestion, actually it helped! Setting the proxy here enabled the Configuration Process to proceed. I thought setting the proxy on that level won't help because it's then related to my Windows user account (rather than SYSTEM user), but that assumption was obviously wrong. So we are going further now, thanks.
