How to pass a proxy address during OneAgent installation on Linux
The OneAgent installer recognizes the PROXY
parameter. The value of this parameter is the proxy server address. Add the port number following a colon, for example 172.1.1.128:8080
. For an authenticating proxy you can specify username and password like this username:password@172.1.1.128:8080
where both username and password need to be URL encoded. We also support IPv6 addresses.
Parameter names are case sensitive, so use ALL CAPS
for parameter names.
Passing a proxy address to the installer
Let's say you're running an openSUSE server, you've downloaded your DESK OneAgent installer to the /tmp
directory and your proxy IP address is 10.1.1.5
. In such a scenario you would begin the installation like this:
cd /tmp
chmod +x DESK-Agent-Linux-0.5.0-20140217-175809.sh
su -c 'DESK-Agent-Linux-0.5.0-20140217-175809.sh PROXY=10.1.1.5'
Auto-detect proxy settings
To enable detection of global proxy settings during installation, type auto
as the PROXY
parameter value. On a Linux server for example, you would type:
su -c 'DESK-Agent-Linux-0.5.0-20140217-175809.sh PROXY=auto'
