How to check if the proxy configuration is correct

Checks for proxy configuration.

In a command prompt of the BigFix server, run the following command:
curl -x <proxy hostname>:<proxy port> --proxy-user <username>:<password> 
http://sync.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/bfgather/bessupport
where:
  • <proxy hostname>:<proxy port> are the host name or IP address and the port number of the proxy server.
  • <username>:<password> are the username and password used to authenticate to the proxy server.
If you get a result similar to the following:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; 
micalg="sha-256,sha1"; boundary="----B64F18ABD54D2355B260FA851C81B467"

This is an S/MIME signed message

your proxy configuration is correct. If not, ask your system administrator to check why the BigFix synchronization site cannot be accessed.
