Does the forwarder support a proxy?
It may be required to configure the forwarder to send its traffic through a proxy. The following guide illustrates configuring the Stairwell Windows forwarder to work in a proxied environment.
Windows
You can configure the proxy value at the time of install or you can manually add the registry value post-installation and reboot the service.
Installing with the proxy argument
Unauthenticated proxy support
.\\InceptionForwarderBundle.exe TOKEN="TOKENHERE" ENVIRONMENT_ID="ENVIRONMENTIDHERE" HTTPSPROXY="http://127.0.0.1:8081" /quiet /norestart /log C:\\stairwell.log
Authenticated proxy support
.\InceptionForwarderBundle.exe TOKEN="TOKENHERE" ENVIRONMENT_ID="ENVIRONMENTIDHERE" HTTPSPROXY="http://username:[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]):8081" /quiet /norestart /log C:\\stairwell.log
Adding proxy configuration into the Windows registry
The Stairwell Windows forwarder stores configuration information within the registry
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Stairwell\\SwellService
By default, the registry key contains the following values: (Default), AssetId, FullVolumeScan.
An additional value needs to be configured when working with a proxy:
Name | Type | Data |
---|---|---|
HttpsProxy | String REG_SZ | http://hostname:port or http://ip_address:port |
Removing proxy configuration into the Windows registry
The Stairwell Windows forwarder stores configuration information within the registry
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Stairwell\\SwellService\\httpsproxy
If you remove this key and restart the service, that will remove the proxy configuration.
