Configure a Proxy
You can set up a proxy to connect the Connector to Cisco Spaces, if the infrastructure hosting the Connector
is behind a proxy. Without this proxy configuration, the Connector is unable to communicate with Cisco
Spaces
To configure proxy on the Connector, you must do the following:
Procedure
Step 1 In the Connector GUI left navigation pane, click Configure HTTP Proxy. Enter your proxy address in the dialog box
that is displayed.
Figure 1: Setup Proxy
Note
Choose the endpoint based on your Cisco Spaces Account. For information on how to choose endpoints, see the Table
1.

Configure a Transparent Proxy
To configure a transparent proxy on the Connector, you must do the following:
1. Copy the proxy server certificate and the proxy server certification authority (CA) bundle to the Connector.
2. From the Connector CLI, validate the proxy certificate.
3. From the Connector CLI, import proxy certificates.
4. From the Connector GUI, configure the proxy URL.
Procedure
Step 1 Copy the proxy certificate to the Connector using scp.
The following is a sample command.
scp [Link] spacesadmin@[connector-ip]:/home/spacesadmin/
scp [Link] spacesadmin@[connector-ip]:/home/spacesadmin/
Step 2 Log in to the Connector CLI, and validate the copied proxy certificate using the connectorctl cert validate command.
The following is a sample output of the command:
[spacesadmin@connector ~]$ connectorctl cert validate -c /home/spacesadmin/[Link] -s
/home/spacesadmin/[Link]
Executing command:cert
Command execution status:Success

/home/spacesadmin/[Link] and /home/spacesadmin/[Link] exists
/home/spacesadmin/[Link]: OK
Validation of certificate is successful
For more information on this command, see connectorctl cert validate.
Step 3 Import the proxy certification authority (CA) certificates along with other certificates using the connectorctl cert
updateca-bundle command.
The following is a sample output of the command:
[spacesadmin@connector ~]$ connectorctl cert updateca-bundle -c /home/spacesadmin/[Link]
-s /home/spacesadmin/[Link]
Executing command:cert
Command execution status:Success
-----------------------
/home/spacesadmin/[Link] and /home/spacesadmin/[Link] exist
/home/spacesadmin/[Link]: OK
CA trust bundle updated successfully
System reboot will happen in 10 seconds. Do not execute any other command.
For more information on this command, see connectorctl cert updateca-bundle.
Step 4 In the Connector GUI left navigation pane, click Configure HTTP Proxy. Enter your proxy address in the dialog box
that is displayed.
