Access MS proxy Server (Socks) from HP-UX box

[Venkat Rao]

Hi

I have a JAVA application running on the unix box, which is opening a socket outside of our network. We have setup a pinhole for the address in our MS proxy server.

How do I route all the socket communications arising on the UNIX box to the MS proxy Server.

We are on HP-UX 11

Thank You
VR

Hi VR,

Simply define a gateway to the router on the subnet where that NIC resides. It *should* know to route all outbound traffic to the proxy. You shouldn't need to define routes to everything on the internet. Let the network team do this - it's their job.

I should have said...
Define a route to the router on the Subnet.....
If it's the only or the main NIC for this system, then it would be a default gateway - else it's a static route definition.

Hi,

Load Some open source SOCKS client in HP-UX server and configure MS proxy server's IP address as SOCKS server IP address field in HP-UX SOCKS client configuration field. Put the default route pointing to MS proxy server. Restart the HP-UX Server.

Now the your HP-UX SOCKS client will bind to MS-Proxy SOCKS service.
