Appendix D - Setting up Proxy Server Configuration for Analyst
This appendix describes how to setup proxy server configuration for analyst.
In some cases Analyst needs to make calls to external services from the server. This may
include-
- Printing base maps from Bing, OSM Europa
- Making calls to Bing Location Services
- Making calls to test tile and WMS maps
- Authenticated WMS maps
The proxy server needs to be added to the java options of both the
AnalystAdmin
and AnalystConnect
services where a
proxy server is used at a customer site. This allows the proxy to be passed as a system
parameter to java process, and the local machine, where spatial service is installed is
configured for no proxy use.
Follow the steps given below:
- At the command prompt go to
-
C:\Program Files\PitneyBowes\SpectrumSpatialAnalyst\Tomcat7\AnalystAdmin\bin>
- Enter
tomcat7w//ES//AnalystAdmin
- Add the following to the end of the java options where the values in yellow are
the proxy server settings for your
environment.
-Dhttp.proxyHost=bcproxy e.g. Proxy server host name -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 e.g. Proxy server port -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=BC-SSAAPP-L001 e.g. Server where Analyst is deployed
- Optionally, use https if the proxy server is https. Also
(optionally) add proxy authentication if needed as
follows:
-Dhttp.proxyUser=username -Dhttp.proxyPassword=userspassword
- Repeat the same for tomcat7w//ES//AnalystConnect.
- Restart the services.
