NetScaler Console® allows you to configure a proxy server for outbound connectivity. You can also upload its CA certificates for NetScaler Console deployments where the SSL-inspecting proxy intercepts outbound traffic. NetScaler Console trusts the proxy’s certificate only when its CA certificate is uploaded. This feature ensures that all external communication from NetScaler Console passes through a secured and controlled proxy server.

This feature provides the following benefits:

  • Ensures that the communication is secure when proxies perform SSL interception.
  • Prevents connectivity issues for telemetry uploads and Cloud Connect communication.

To configure a proxy server, navigate to Settings > Administration and click Proxy Server.

Proxy server configuration

Points to note

  • Ensure that the proxy server is reachable from NetScaler Console over the specified IP/port.

  • If SSL interception is enabled, import in NetScaler Console, the proxy’s CA certificate to avoid connectivity failures.

  • Changes to proxy configuration might impact automated telemetry upload or Cloud Connect until the new details are added.

Proxy server configuration

You can use the Proxy Server Configuration tab to add proxy details and credentials.

Prerequisite

  • Add adm.cloud.com to Allow list.

To add a proxy server to route all outbound traffic, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Administration and click Proxy Server.
  2. On the Proxy Server Configuration tab, select Enable Proxy Server.

  3. Specify the IP Address/Hostname of the proxy server and its listening Port.

    Note:

    • Starting from 14.1 release build 56.x, NetScaler Console supports using DNS host names (FQDNs) in addition to IP addresses for proxy configuration.

    • Using host names is beneficial in environments that:

      • Use DNS-based redundancy (for example, GSLB) to route traffic across multiple proxy servers.
      • Have no load balancer, but rely on DNS to manage high availability and failover.
      • Require scalable and resilient proxy configurations across data centers.

      The support to use DNS host names allows NetScaler Console to dynamically resolve the most appropriate proxy endpoint, improving reliability and simplifying management.

  4. Provide a Username and the corresponding Password if the proxy requires credentials.

    Note:

    NetScaler Console currently supports basic authentication for proxy.

  5. Click Save.

Manage CA certificate

If the proxy server performs SSL inspection, use the Manage CA Certificates tab to upload the CA certificate of proxy server. You can either add or delete the certificate as per your needs.

To upload the CA certificate of the proxy server, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Administration and click Proxy Server.
  2. Click Upload Certificate.

To delete the CA certificate of the proxy server, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Administration and click Proxy Server.
  2. Select the certificate to be deleted.

  3. Click Delete Certificate.
