Appliance Security Updates and Eyeglass Updates with HTTP Proxy

Introduction​

Many environments route internet access through an HTTP proxy. Eyeglass software updates are hosted online, and the underlying operating system's security updates are also fetched over HTTP (via zypper). This guide covers configuring the appliance to use an HTTP proxy for both.

Configure HTTP Proxy​

  1. Log in via SSH as admin.
  2. Elevate to root: 
    sudo -s
  3. Run: 
    yast
  4. Navigate to the proxy configuration screen and enter:
    • Proxy URL
    • User ID and password
note

You can also encode the username and password directly into the URL, which may be required for some proxy devices — for example: http://username:password@proxyaddress:port.

caution

HTTP proxy configuration is untested with the full range of proxy software solutions on the market and is not covered under maintenance contracts.
