Dear All,
Our application uses VAMI’s CIM interface to perform upgrade while setting update repository URL and provides username and password required to access the URL. Then on we use Vmware CIM APIs to check for available updates and perform Update.
SDK version used - VM Studio 2.6 version
We have a requirement where user must be able to configure proxy server from our application console so that it would help customers perform update in scenarios where their location requires proxy server to access outside network. For e.g. (vudpate.emc.com) would be an external site and the updates from this site would need to be routed through a proxy server.
We have raised a VMware Support Request 13279144002, but didn't received much help. We have few open questions and needs some help.
Questions:
1. Are there any CIM Apis available for configuring Proxy settings on VAMI server, so that these proxy settings would be used when VAMI’s
Update service access update repository that is outside network?
2. Does VAMI support encryption and decryption of proxy password?
3. Is there any interface available for settings specific type of Proxy i.e HTTP or HTTPS in VAMI?
4. Does VAMI supports certificate based authentication for Proxy server ?
Any help or clarifications on above questions would be truly appreciated.
Regards,
Nimai Sood
