We have a requirements to call external systems and need to go though the proxy with credentials .Is there anyway to config proxy with authentication in IFS ?

In web.config file where we can give a proxy server details  but we no option to pass credentials

Hi @seeda,

What is the purpose of the call. This sounds like it should be setup as an integration using the integrations functionality within FSM using FSM Connect. You can pass credentials for authentication with the FSM integrations. Please check the documentation on the FSM Connect screen in FSM and, if additional assistance is required, possibly request training or assistance for this setup with IFS.

Kind regards,

Lee Pinchbeck

Hi @seeda , as @Lee Pinchbeck  mentioned, this looks like something which needs to be addressed with FSM Connect. You can define the external system credentials on the routing rules in FSM Connect with different authentication modes. You may need to look into FSM Connect guide  for further information

please note that our requirement is to open a firewall first (setup a proxy+with credentials) to enable internet to connect with other integration servers . once connection established , we can use credentials to authenticate either basic/oath2 to specific system .

Hi @seeda , 

 

Proxy settings cannot be specified for appropriate extract specifically. 

Though, default proxy settings can be specified in the web.config.

As far as I am aware of you cannot specify credentials unless a code change \ implementation is made. 

I would recommend to ensure the application pool identity, under which the FSM Application Server is hosted, is authorized to access the proxy server. 

It will use the default credentials of the application pool identity to authenticate to the proxy server eventually. 

 

Best Regards,

Hi @seeda , 

 

for setting default proxy server in web.config please see MSDN article below:

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/proxy-configuration

 

for changing the application pool identity, see article below:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities

 

Hope that helps :)

 

Ruben
