HTTP Client Parameters

When you configure retrieval of group information from OTDS, you might need to configure a proxy server and SSL settings. You can set any of the standard IDOL HTTP Client configuration parameters in the repository section, for example:

[Repositories]
Number=1
0=OTDS
 
[OTDS] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]
// OAuth parameters imported from file generated by OAuth tool

GroupServerLibrary=ogs_otds
OTDSRestApiUrl=https://otds.example.com/otdsws/rest/
UseSystemProxy=true
SSLMethod=negotiate

TIP: You can encrypt user names and passwords before entering them into your configuration file. For information about how to encrypt parameter values, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

HTTPConnectTimeout Time Duration 60s The maximum amount of time to wait for the server to respond when establishing a connection.
HTTPReadTimeout Time Duration 60s The maximum amount of time to wait to receive data.
ProxyHost String   The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use.
ProxyPassword String   The password to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
ProxyPort Integer   The port of the proxy server to use.
ProxyUsername String   The user name to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
SSLConfig String The current section The name of a section in the configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use.

UseSystemProxy Boolean False

A Boolean value that specifies whether to obtain details about your HTTP proxy from the system. On Windows, OmniGroupServer reads the proxy settings configured through Internet Explorer or the Windows Control Panel. On Linux, OmniGroupServer reads the proxy settings from environment variables such as HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY.

You can set this parameter instead of setting ProxyHost, ProxyPort, ProxyUsername, and ProxyPassword.
