Configuring proxy server support for the featureManager command in Liberty
You can access the Liberty Repository using a proxy server.
Before you begin
To access the IBM®
WebSphere® Liberty Repository with limited internet
access or through a firewall, ensure that you have access to the following hosts and ports:
- public.dhe.ibm.com on port 443
- asset-websphere.ibm.com on port 443
About this task
You can run the featureManager command to connect to the Liberty Repository through a user-specified proxy server.
Note:
- The featureManager command only supports proxy servers with HTTP/HTTPS protocols.
- The proxy server is only supported for the install and find options for the featureManager command.
Both the featureManager command and the installUtility command use the same configuration properties file, repositories.properties. The proxy settings are shared, but the repository settings are only used by the installUtility command. Using the installUtility command is recommended over the featureManager command because it enables you to work with more asset types and from multiple repositories; for more information see Configuring repositories and proxy settings for the installUtility command.
To configure proxy server support for the featureManager command, complete the following steps.
