Description of the outbound HTTP connection configuration script
The configuration settings of an outbound HTTP connection configuration script are described here.
- proxy-rules
- The proxy-rules setting is the root of a configuration profile.
The configuration profile for which the script is applied is specified in the configuration task
that is run against this script. The proxy-rules setting can contain
the following subsettings:
- variables
- Use the variables setting to specify endpoint variables or dynamic policy variables. Variables are used in the URL attribute of the policy setting, or they are used in a variable value. For more details about how to use variables, read Variables.
- mapping
- Use the mapping setting to map incoming requests to a target URL, based on their context path. Therefore, each mapping must specify a contextpath attribute and optionally a url attribute. Optionally, mappings can declare policy settings that represent mapping specific access policies. For more details about how to use mappings, read Context path mappings. Mappings contain a name attribute that gives an administrative name for this mapping. This attribute is used by administrative tasks to identify the mapping for update tasks or delete tasks.
- policy
- Use the policy setting to define an access policy for a specific URL pattern. A proxy configuration can contain multiple policy definitions. If no policy is specified at all, the portal denies all incoming requests. For more details about policies, read Access policies.
- ipfilter
- Use ipfilter setting to define one or more IP patterns. You can use these IP filter patterns to either grant or deny a particular IP address or a set of addresses access to the Ajax proxy. For more details about IP filtering rules, read IP filtering.
- meta-data
- Use the meta-data setting to specify general configuration properties of the proxy, for example HTTP-related parameters. Each meta-data setting must have a name and a value. To get a list of configuration parameters that are available in the portal, read General configuration parameters by metadata.
