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 YUM repositories.
• Access to your Okta org URL (<your-org>-admin.okta.com). Verify that this URL is excluded from SSL decryption.

Before you begin

Configure nodes, workers, and admin nodes in the following ways before setting 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. Set a bypass proxy for the ha-admin.service.oag host. This is an internal host that Access Gateway uses for high-availability deployment.
• The admin node requires that the worker nodes are in the proxy bypass.

Set the proxy for Access Gateway

1. Sign in to the Access Gateway Management console.

   Use ssh oag-mgmt@admin. With virtual environments, like Oracle VirtualBox, use the command window provided by the environment.
