3.1 Proxies and environment variables

If your network requires a proxy to connect to your HCL Digital Experience, you can set two environment variables before starting DXSync:

• HTTP_PROXY is used for unsecure connections
• HTTPS_PROXY is used for secure connections

The value must contain the schema, the host, and the port of the proxy, such as http://10.10.10.31:8080.

The following examples show environment variables and values for Windows™ and Linux™/OSX:

Windows™:

• SET HTTP_PROXY=http://10.10.10.31:8080
• SET HTTPS_PROXY=http://10.10.10.31:8080

Linux™/OSX:

• export HTTP_PROXY=http://10.10.10.31:8080
• export HTTPS_PROXY=http://10.10.10.31:8080
