Set an Access Gateway proxy server

This procedure describes how to set a proxy for Access Gateway.

Worker nodes retrieve information from the admin node over HTTPS. The following traffic is routed through the proxy:

• Communication to the Identity Provider.
• Communication with the support VPN connection.
• Communication with the YUM repositories.

Before you begin

Nodes, workers, and admin nodes must be set up in the following ways before you can set a proxy for Access Gateway:

• All nodes must be in the proxy bypass when you sync nodes.
• The worker node requires that the admin node is in the proxy bypass.
• The admin node requires that the worker nodes are in the proxy bypass.
