Confluence 2.9 : Configure Web Proxy Support for Confluence
This page last changed on Apr 09, 2008 by rhartono.
OverviewSome of Confluence's macros, such as {rss} and {jiraissues} need to make web requests to remote servers in order to retrieve data. If Confluence is deployed within a datacentre or DMZ, it may not be able to access the Internet directly to make these requests. If you find that the {rss} macro does not work, ask your network administrator if Confluence needs to access the Internet through a web proxy. Configuring Proxy SupportProxy support is configured by passing certain system properties to the Java Virtual Machine on startup. These properties are defined by Sun here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html
Configure HTTP proxy with authentication
Reference: source Please consult your application server documentation for how to provide system properties to the Java runtime, or to a particular application server. Some examples of how to start up different application servers with these system properties set are:
Confluence running as a Windows Service
You may need to define the configuration in your Windows Registry. For example, if you are running Confluence as a service with Tomcat 5 as the Application Server then you will need to modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Apache Software Foundation -> Procrun 2.0 -> Tomcat5 -> Parameters -> Java -> Options and add the JAVA_OPTS parameter there. NTLM AuthenticationConfluence does not currently support NTLM authentication, and can not identify itself to a proxy server in this way. |
