Proxy settings

If Floating License Server (FLS) is installed in a restricted environment there may be a need to configure proxy settings to let FLS perform properly.

Use the following system properties to let FLS connect through a proxy server:

Proxy-related System Properties

Property	Description
`http.proxyHost`	The host name of your proxy server.
`http.proxyPort`	The port number that the proxy server listens to.
`https.proxyHost`	The host name of your secure proxy server.
`https.proxyPort`	The port number that the secure proxy server listens to.

Change to the FLS installation directory using the command line.
Stop FLS using the following command:
./bin/license-server.sh stop
Run in the command line:
./bin/license-server.sh configure \ -J-Dhttps.proxyHost=<proxy_host> \ -J-Dhttps.proxyPort=<proxy_port>
where <proxy_host> is the host and <proxy_port> is the port of the proxy you want to use.
proxy_host must be entered without protocol prefix, just a domain name.
(Optional) If license server software is behind a proxy which requires authentication run in the command line:
./bin/license-server.sh configure \ -J-Dhttps.proxyUser=<proxy_user> \ -J-Dhttps.proxyPassword=<proxy_password>
where <proxy_user> is the user and <proxy_password> is the password required by the proxy you want to use.
Start FLS using the following command:
./bin/license-server.sh start

Stop FLS using the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > JetBrains License Service).
Open the command line with an Administrator permissions.
Change to the FLS installation directory.
Run in the command line:
.\apps\license-server\bin\license-server.bat configure ^ -J-Dhttps.proxyHost=<proxy_host> ^ -J-Dhttps.proxyPort=<proxy_port>
where <proxy_user> is the user and <proxy_password> is the password required by the proxy you want to use.
proxy_host must be entered without protocol prefix, just a domain name.
(Optional) If license server software is behind a proxy which requires authentication run in the command line:
.\apps\license-server\bin\license-server.bat configure ^ -J-Dhttps.proxyUser=<proxy_user> ^ -J-Dhttps.proxyPassword=<proxy_password>
where <proxy_user> is the user and <proxy_password> is the password required by the proxy you want to use.
Start FLS using the JetBrains License Service.
