Configuring proxy server support for the featureManager command in Liberty
You can access the Liberty Repository using a proxy server.
Before you begin
About this task
You can run the featureManager command to connect to the IBM WebSphere 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.
- 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
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.
