My organization allows outbound internet connectivity from the OT network only via a proxy server. How to configure the Asset Gateway to use this proxy?

0
My organization policy does not allow unrestricted connectivity from the OT network. All traffic is routed to an enterprise proxy via authentication which in turn forwards the traffic. This creates challenges for IAH as the "Asset Gateway" deployed in the OT or Lab network cannot directly access "IAH Backend" services hosted on the Public cloud.   How can I configure IAH to use my enterprise proxy server?

Gateway operation can be performed behind proxies by setting the environments accordingly.

  • For SIEMENS Industrial Edge consult the documentation Industrial Edge -> Industrial Edge Management -> Getting Started
  • In case of gateway operation as composed containers the hosting environment needs to configured according the necessities of the network environment. On Linux based systems this can be achieved by setting the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables or via desktop network configuration dialogs

Proxy server settings are typically done at device level.

So for Industrial Edge Deployments of IAH, the Proxy settings can be done in the IED under Settings > Connectivity > Proxy Network.

For deployments using the docker containers directly, the proxy settings can be done in the underlaying Linux OS or by utilizing docker settings at user's discretion.
