Configure a Connector to connect to Moderne via an HTTP proxy
If your organization requires an HTTP proxy in order to be able to access the public internet, you can configure this proxy for communication between the Moderne Connector and the Moderne API Gateway.
This proxy will be used for egress, and then the API gateway will establish the Layer 7 connection with the Moderne Connector through which all further communication will pass.

HTTP CONNECT proxy
If your organization uses an HTTP CONNECT proxy for outbound traffic, configure the Connector with the proxy host and port. The following variables/arguments must be combined with ones found in other steps in the Configuring the Moderne Connector guide.
- OCI Container
- Executable JAR

| Variable Name | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
MODERNE_CONNECTOR_APIGATEWAY_PROXY_HOST | false | Host (without scheme) for the proxy server. | |
MODERNE_CONNECTOR_APIGATEWAY_PROXY_PORT | false | Port for the proxy server. |
If you include either a host or port, you must include both.
