Run a Scenario using a Proxy Server

In cases where configuring a Virtual Private Network (VPN) may not be practical, Arcserve RHA allows replication using proxy servers. One example where use of a proxy server may be applicable is if the Master host resides behind a firewall with only HTTP proxy access and the replica host resides on the public internet.

Important! A replica server on the public internet has inherent risks which need to be evaluated by each user prior to implementing a scenario using a proxy server.

To configure a scenario that uses a proxy server, enter the proxy details in the Host Connection property of the Master.

Note: After you enable proxy settings in the Master, the replica automatically starts using the proxy server. If you do not want a replica to use the proxy server, set the replica Enable Proxy setting to Off.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Manager, select the scenario.
2. Select the master host and click the Host Connection property.
3. Change the HTTP proxy Information to On and enter the proxy server details such as the host name, port number, and user credentials.
4. Run the scenario.
