Proxy Configuration

Proxy Configuration

The Proxy Server Configuration page contains the operating parameters and service mappings for File Server Proxy.
Configure the proxy parameters and service mappings for File Server.
The following table describes the Proxy Server Configuration parameters:
Gateway Configuration parameter
Description
Enabled
Indicates whether Informatica File Server Proxy is enabled.
By default, Informatica File Server Proxy is enabled.
Controller Address
The IP address of the server running the Informatica File Server Proxy server component. The IP address must match the controller address defined in the
proxy.xml
 file on the Informatica File Server Proxy server.
Controller Port
The port on which Informatica File Server Proxy listens for incoming control connections. The default port is 9100 and must match the port defined in the
proxy.xml
 file on the Informatica File Server Proxy server.
Minimum Number of Threads
The minimum number of threads reserved for connections to Informatica File Server Proxy.
Default is 10.
Maximum Number of Threads
The maximum number of threads that can be used for connections to Informatica File Server Proxy. This determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled.
Default is 2000.
Changing the thread values can alter the performance. Modify the thread values to obtain the optimal performance for your configuration requirements.
Thread Keep Alive Time
The amount of time that an idle thread waits before it is released.
Default is 60 seconds.
Increasing the value might cause a higher CPU and memory usage on the server. However, the connections start faster because they do not need to create new threads frequently.
Service Mappings
Each service such as FTP, FTPS, AS2, and SFTP is mapped from Informatica File Server Proxy to the corresponding service in Informatica File Server. When a control connection is established, the mappings are sent to the Informatica File Server proxy server.
Informatica File Server Proxy listens for incoming connections on the
From Address
 and
From Port
 for each service mapping.
When a connection occurs, Informatica File Server Proxy forwards the traffic to File Server based on the
To Address
and
To Port
 service mappings.
If more service mappings are needed, for example, more than one listener for a particular service, click
Add
 to add a new service mapping entry row. If a service mapping is no longer needed, click the icon to delete the corresponding service mapping.
Add service mapping
The Add service mapping contains the following parameters:
Label
An identifier for the service mapping.
From Address
The IP address that Informatica File Server Proxy uses to listen on for incoming traffic. Optionally leave the From Address field blank to use the Controller Address as the bind address for client connections on that particular mapping.
From Port
The port that Informatica File Server Proxy uses to listen on for incoming connections. The standard ports are 21 for FTP, 990 for FTPS, 22 for SFTP, and 443 for AS2.
To Address
The IP address of the local File Server system.
To Port
The port that the service listener uses for a specific service on the File Server system.
Load Balancer Rule
The Informatica File Server Proxy uses the Load Balancer Rule to configure the load balancing for each service mapping. This rule is defined in Informatica File Server proxy and should be round-robin for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP protocols. For AS2, the Load Balancer Rule should be IP-based round-robin that routes traffic from specific IP addresses for a period of time to a single system.
By default, use the
default
 rule for FTP, FTPS and SFTP.
Use the
https
 rule for AS2.
Changes made to the Service Mappings take effect the next time the connection to the File Integration Service Proxy is reset.
To reset the connection, click
Cancel
 and then the
Save
 button on the
Proxy Server Configuration
 page.
