SOCKS 5 proxy support in WMS 3.1 Repository server

Remote repositories support SOCKS5 proxy for all HTTP and MQTT communications with WMS. This feature is available from WMS 3.1. Only system-wide proxies are supported since the remote repository runs as a Windows service. Also, proxies with AD authentication or no authentication are supported. You can configure the proxy servers using any method. Here are a few examples on how to configure the proxy server information:

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

  netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=localhost:9090" bypass-list="localhost“
  C:\Users\administrator.<DomainName>>“netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=<proxy server IP:Port Number>" bypass-list="localhost"”
  

  Current WinHTTP proxy settings:

  Proxy Server(s) : socks=<proxy server IP>
  Bypass List : localhost
  

• Using the WPAD file configured in DHCP—The WMS 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. Here is a sample PAC file content:

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