Using the pkg set-publisher
Command to Set a Proxy
The --proxy
option of the pkg set-publisher
command sets a persistent proxy URI for the specified publisher origin and mirror URIs. The proxy value is stored as part of the publisher configuration. Storing the proxy value as part of the publisher configuration automatically updates the system repository that is used by child images. Storing the proxy value as part of the publisher configuration also means you could use different proxies for different publishers.
In the following example, the value of proxyURI is the following, where protocol is http
or https
and :port
is optional:
protocol://host-name[:port]
The --proxy
option cannot be used to set an authenticated proxy. The following form for the value of proxyURI is not supported:
protocol://user:password@host

If this image has non-global zones, the system repository is automatically updated with this proxy information; you do not need to set properties in the system-repository
service. If you examine the publisher proxy in the non-global zone, you do not see the same proxy URI that you see in the global zone. In the global zone, the system repository uses the proxy URI. In the non-global zone, the system repository acts as a proxy itself, enabling the non-global zone to communicate with the system repository in the global zone. Relationship Between Global and Non-Global Zones shows an example of what the system repository publisher looks like in the non-global zone.
