Change proxy settings

As an example of how to change a proxy setting, we will change the proxy password.

  1. On the computer you installed the sensor on, navigate to the sensor config subdirectory.

  2. Open the proxy.properties file, replace httpsAuthPasswordEncrypted with httpsAuthPassword.

  3. Add the proxy password values for these settings.

  4. Restart the sensor service to apply the new proxy settings.

    Alternatively, use the sensor applyproxysettings command to apply the proxy settings without restarting the sensor:

    • Windows: change into the sensor cli subdirectory and run applyproxysettings.bat -file ..\config\proxy.properties

    • Linux: change into the sensor cli subdirectory and run ./applyproxysettings.sh -file ../config/proxy.properties

    • Docker: use the above Linux command if running from an interactive shell, or else run docker exec -it <container-id/name> <sensor-install-path>/cli/applyproxysettings.sh -file <sensor-install-path>/config/proxy.properties

What's next

Use the new password next time you log on to the proxy server.
