Configure an Online Subscription Proxy

An online subscription proxy contacts the CA Subscription Server to download the latest CA Enterprise Log Manager updates, and distributes them to subscription clients in turn.

The default online subscription proxy downloads updates to subscription clients if no other proxy is configured or available. The first CA Enterprise Log Manager server you install is configured upon installation as the default subscription proxy. However, you can specify any online proxy as the default subscription proxy. You can configure the default subscription proxy only at the global level.

To configure an online subscription proxy

1. Click the Administration tab and the Services subtab.
2. Click Subscription Service.

   The Global Service Configuration: Subscription Service window appears.

   Note: To specify a default subscription proxy different from the one configured upon installation, click Administration and enter the server name in the Default Subscription Proxy field.

3. In the Service List, expand Subscription Service, and select the server to configure.

   The Subscription Service Configuration for the selected CA Enterprise Log Manager server appears.

4. Click the Administration tab.
5. Select the Subscription Proxy checkbox, and select Online Subscription Proxy.
6. Confirm that the RSS feed URL for subscription updates is correct. If you want this proxy to use an RSS feed different from the global setting, switch to local configuration and enter the correct RSS URL.
7. If this server is to contact the CA Subscription Server through an HTTP proxy server different from the inherited one, switch to local configuration and configure the desired HTTP proxy.
8. Click Save.
