If License Server (FLS) is installed in a restricted environment there may be a need to configure proxy settings to let FLS perform properly.

Use the following system properties to let FLS connect through a proxy server:

Proxy-related System Properties

Property

Description

http.proxyHost

The host name of your proxy server.

http.proxyPort

The port number that the proxy server listens to.

https.proxyHost

The host name of your secure proxy server.

https.proxyPort

The port number that the secure proxy server listens to.

  1. Change to the FLS installation directory using the command line.

  2. Stop FLS using the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh stop

  3. Run in the command line:

    ./bin/license-server.sh configure \
-J-Dhttps.proxyHost=<proxy_host> \
-J-Dhttps.proxyPort=<proxy_port>

    where <proxy_host> is the host and <proxy_port> is the port of the proxy you want to use.

    note

    proxy_host must be entered without protocol prefix, just a domain name.

  4. (Optional) If license server software is behind a proxy which requires authentication run in the command line:

    ./bin/license-server.sh configure \
-J-Dhttps.proxyUser=<proxy_user> \
-J-Dhttps.proxyPassword=<proxy_password>

    where <proxy_user> is the user and <proxy_password> is the password required by the proxy you want to use.

  5. Start FLS using the following command:

    ./bin/license-server.sh start
