Operating Systems AIX Configure HTTP proxy in SUMA
# 8  
Old 09-24-2015
When helping customers setup PowerSC the proxy has worked fine with esa being configured on the system but not used to submit anything. It is just a "proxy" connection. When setting it up I/we use the test connection through the proxy.

Remember - you are using the proxy because your system does not have direct access. ESA has the proxy configuration because the system does not have direct access. SUMA just borrows this connection path.

re: your previous support/PMR: Definitely escalate. That is not a solution.

However, the first step when working with support will be to verify you can submit something via ESA (if I recall that also requires an active support contract). Since they are talking with you - you have passed that hurdle already.

In short, if you can submit a test ticket using ESA then you can add that "as a fact", and that you expect IBM to make it work. Whether you are or not - say you are evaluating PowerSC component - TNCPM (Trusted Network Connect/Patch Management) as the PM compoment will not work unless the system can connect to SUMA for downloads. FixCentral downloads do not suffice!

cachemgr.cgi

cachemgr.cgi(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   cachemgr.cgi(8)

NAME

       cachemgr.cgi - squid HTTP proxy manager interface

SYNOPSIS

       http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       The  cache  manager (cachemgr.cgi) is a CGI utility for displaying statistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man-
       ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics without logging into the server.

FILES

       ./cachemgr.conf
       @DEFAULT_CACHEMGR_CONFIG@
	      The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may be managed via this  cachemgr.cgi	program.  Each	line  specifies  a
	      server:port followed by an optional description

	      The  server  name  may  contain  shell wildcard characters such as *, [] etc.  A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con-
	      structed from the simple server names.

	      Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any  port  on  the  target
	      server.

SECURITY

       cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
       is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the cachemgr.cgi program.

       Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the Squid FAQ.
