Dell Wyse Management Suite Version 3.7 and 3.8 Administrator Guide

Proxy support for Wyse Management Suite remote repositories

From Wyse Management Suite 3.2, remote repositories support HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxy for all HTTPS and MQTT communications to Wyse Management Suite.

Only system-wide proxies are supported since the remote repository runs as a Windows service. Also, only proxies with AD authentication or no authentication are supported. You can configure the proxy servers using any method. Following are a few examples on how to configure proxy server information:

• Using the netsh command—You can use the following command to configure the proxy server information
  • SOCKS5 proxy

    netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=localhost:9090" bypass-list="localhost“
    
    C:\Users\administrator.WMSAD61>netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=<proxy server IP>" bypass-list="localhost"
    
    Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
    
        Proxy Server(s) :  socks=<proxy server IP>
        Bypass List     :  localhost
    

  • HTTPs proxy

    netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="https=<ProxyServerIP>:<Port number>" bypass-list="localhost“
    
    C:\Users\administrator.WMSAD61>netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="https=<proxy server IP>" bypass-list="localhost"
    
    Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
    
        Proxy Server(s) :  https=<proxy server IP>
        Bypass List     :  localhost
    

• Using the WPAD file configured in DHCP—Wyse Management Suite repository server must be configured with DHCP IP address and Internet Explorer must be configured with Automatically Detect settings. You must configure the DHCP option tag 252 with the WPAD.pac file. Following is a sample PAC file content:

  function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
  {
  	if (shExpMatch(host, "*wysemanagementsuite.com*")) {
  	return "SOCKS <proxy server IP>";
  }
  	return "DIRECT";
  }

You can also configure the proxy settings using group policies.
