Chapter 4 System Settings : Outbound HTTP/FTP Proxy and Mail SMTP Servers

Outbound HTTP/FTP Proxy and Mail SMTP Servers
The Outbound Proxy Settings link adds proxy servers for use by BusinessConnect. Different proxy server types are supported to provide for different types of outbound transports protocols:
HTTP Proxy and SOCKS4/ SOCKS5 Proxy Servers   For outbound HTTP transport protocols
SMTP Server   For outbound Email transport protocols
FTP Proxy and SOCK4 / SOCKS5 Proxy Servers   For outbound FTP transport protocols
To select a proxy for a partner participant, see Select the Default Proxy for a Trading Partner and Configuring an SMTP Server for a Partner.
To learn about proxy servers, see TIBCO BusinessConnect Concepts, "Proxy Servers."
Adding a Proxy for a Host

From the Type list, select the server: HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5, FTP, or SMTP.
FTP and FTPS support for mput/mget is available through either SOCKS4, SOCKS5, or FTP Gateway.
The FTP Gateway is an FTP server emulator application, which routes both ways between an FTP client (BusinessConnect) and an FTP server using either passive or active mode.

In the New Proxy Connection dialog, enter the information using Table 17:
Note: If you select the SSL or TLS protocol with encrypted SMTP, the port number is normally 465. If you select the STARTTLS protocol with encrypted SMTP, the port number is normally 587.
Certificate Authorities can be added under BusinessConnect > System Settings > Certificate Store > Credentials.
You have to add server certificates according to your own needs. Server certificates can be added under BusinessConnect > System Settings > Certificate Store > Server Identities & Certificates > Add Third Party Server Certificate.
The sample certificates are in the TIBCO_HOME/bc/version/samples/keys/email_ssl directory.
Note: If the certificate expires, download the latest certificate. The sample certificate used to connect to the Gmail server might expire depending on the Gmail service. Download a new Gmail server certificate if needed.
Note: If you select TLS version 1.1 or 1.2, you have to select SUN or IBM as the security vendor for inbound and outbound socket operations.
