Configuring a Proxy Server
Authenticating to a Proxy ServerWhen the search appliance is crawling content, it can authenticate to a proxy server that supports Basic authentication. To enable authenticating to a proxy server, add a Proxy-Authorization header for the crawler in the Additional HTTP Headers for Crawler box on the Content Sources > Web Crawl > HTTP Headers page. Because Additional HTTP Headers for Crawler headers are sent to all servers, the Proxy-Authorization header will also be sent to servers/proxies that it is not meant for. A Proxy-Authorization header uses the following format: Proxy-Authorization:credentials For example, suppose that you want the search appliance to authenticate to a proxy server using base64 encoding with username=username and password=password. In this instance, add the following Proxy-Authorization header: Proxy-Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQK Where the encoded string is "username:password" base64 encoded. To encode the username and password in base64 on Linux or Unix, enter the following commands: $ echo username:password > /tmp/foo For More InformationFor more information about URL patterns used for crawling, see:
