Install http proxy

If you have existing policies that apply to all agents and computers, you can make the changes in your existing policies rather than create new ones. Figure Click the image to view larger in new window Type a Name and optional Description for your new policy in the appropriate fields.

Then click Edit next to Global Proxy Figure shows this option. Type the username and password that you created above Method II.

Click the slider bar next to Use direct connection if HTTP proxy is not available to allow this fallback option. Click Save. Figure Click Finish. Select the policy that you just created and click Assign Group s. Click Finish.

However, this isn't the desired behavior. In the next section, you'll use Nginx as a proxy server to route the HTTP requests that are made to port 80 to our. NET application instead. You'll also configure your application to start automatically. Nginx is a popular, lightweight, and fast web server. It can run on both Linux and Windows, and it can be configured as a reverse proxy server. Nginx runs as a daemon. A daemon is an alternative term for a service that runs in the background.

Just like the services that run on Windows, daemons can be configured to auto-start during startup. You'll configure your ASP. NET Core application to run as a daemon. Installing Nginx is straightforward. Run the sudo apt install nginx command to install the program on the Ubuntu virtual machine.

After the installation finishes, run whereis nginx to discover where the program is installed. You can see where the Nginx configuration files are located by inspecting the output. If you run a distribution other than Ubuntu or Debian, you can find the equivalent package manager installation command or instructions from the official Nginx installation documentation.

If you don't see that Nginx is running, you can start it explicitly by running sudo systemctl start nginx. Although this exercise will demonstrate the systemctl commands for Nginx, these commands are used to configure the web application to start automatically as a daemon. After the installation finishes, Nginx is already configured to start automatically. You can check the status of the daemon by using systemctl.

The systemctl command is used to manage "services" for such tasks as showing the status of the service, or starting and stopping it. Some available parameters are start, stop, restart, enable, disable, and status. To check the status of Nginx, run systemctl status nginx. This command generates some useful information. As this screenshot shows, Nginx is in active running status, and the process ID of the Nginx instance is Also notice the enabled and vendor preset: enabled statements. Enabled means that this daemon will start when the machine is restarted, and vendor preset: enabled means that Nginx is enabled by default when it's installed.

Therefore, Nginx will start automatically when the server is started. By default, Nginx listens on port Because it's running, you should be able to access the main page of Nginx when you browse localhost.

Use curl to test Nginx by running curl localhost. The yellow highlighted text in the following screenshot shows the Nginx default web page. Therefore, Nginx is running:. Services, or daemons, can be managed by using the systemctl command. Starting, stopping, or making changes require superuser access. Therefore, you must add the sudo prefix to these commands. You might have to restart the daemons from time to time.

To restart Nginx, run sudo systemctl restart nginx. Make sure that you check the status of Nginx before and after you run this command to monitor changes to the process ID. To stop Nginx, run sudo systemctl stop nginx , and then check the status of Nginx by running systemctl status nginx again.

This time, the service is shown as inactive dead but still enabled. This means that although the service isn't running, it will start automatically after the server is restarted. The systemctl status command also displays several lines of previous log entries for the daemon. Disabling a daemon is different from stopping a daemon.

A disabled daemon could be running, but it won't start automatically after the server is restarted. Install manually if you prefer this method or if the All-in-one installer fails. Copy custom configuration from your previous installation When upgrading, the original httpd. Copy custom configuration from your previous installation If you had any other custom modifications in the httpd. Policy settings can be applied in existing policies These instructions demonstrate creating new policies that define the location of Apache HTTP Proxy for client computers and ESET Management Agents to ensure that settings are applied to all client computers.

If you have existing policies that apply to all agents and computers, you can make the changes in your existing policies rather than create new ones. Last Updated: Oct 28, Was this information helpful?
