Configuring Proxy Array Members

You only need to configure each member in the proxy array once, and you must do so from the member itself. You cannot configure a member of the array from another member. You also need to configure the master proxy.

To configure each member of the proxy array

Steps

1. Access the Server Manager, and click the Caching tab.

2. Click the Configure Proxy Array Member link.

   The Configure Proxy Array Member page displays.

3. In the Proxy Array section, indicate whether or not the member needs to poll for the PAT file by selecting the appropriate radio button.

   The choices are:

   • Non-Master Member. You should select this option if the member you are configuring is not the master proxy. Any proxy array member that is not a master proxy will need to poll for the PAT file in order to retrieve it from the master proxy.

   • Master Member. You should select this option if you are configuring the master proxy. If you are configuring the master proxy, the PAT file is local and does not need to be polled.

4. In the Poll Host field, enter the name of the master proxy that you will be polling for the PAT file.

5. In the Port field, enter the port at which the master proxy accepts HTTP requests.

6. In the URL field, enter the URL of the PAT file on the master proxy. If on your master proxy, you have created a PAT mapping to map the PAT file to the URL /pat, you should enter /pat in the URL field.

7. In the Headers File field, enter the full pathname for a file with any special headers that must be sent with the HTTP request for the PAT file (such as authentication information).

   This field is optional.

8. Click OK.

9. Click Restart Required.

   The Apply Changes page displays.

10. Click the Restart Proxy Server button to apply the changes.
