If you need to access servers/repositories (such as Maven, ibiblio, Apache/Jakarta, etc.) that are on external networks, do so by going to the System page and creating a new proxy. To help secure the connection, set a password-protected user name on the proxy. To get started, make sure:
You must have AnthillPro administrative privileges to the System page. See Manage Security.
The proxy host and port must be available.
To configure the proxy:
Go to System > Proxy Settings under the Server menu.
On the Proxy Settings page, click Create Proxy.
Set up Proxy:
Proxy Name. Give the name AnthillPro will use for the proxy.
Description. Give a description of the proxy (e.g., Maven proxy).
Host. Provide the host for the proxy.
Port. Give the port AnthillPro will use to communicate with the proxy.
Username. Provide the name to be used for proxy authentication. This is the name AnthillPro will use when connecting to the proxied server/repository (e.g., anthill3mavenproxy).
Password. Give the password (if password protected). This is the password used to authenticate the AnthillPro user name set above.
Click Save then Done.
