After the first Edge Encryption proxy
is properly configured and tested, you can set up additional proxies on a Linux or Windows
machine. Installing multiple proxies on the same machine is not recommended.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Add additional proxy servers on additional machines to ensure an optimal environment.
See [Sizing your Edge Encryption environment](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ekjSAVbkuxue0PUdr32bbQ "Choosing the number of proxy servers for your environment is an important task. Consider the number of users, redundancy needs, and acceptable latency.") to
determine the number of additional proxies needed.  
Hinweis:  
Make sure that all proxies have the same encryption keys and the same RSA key pair used to digitally sign encryption configuration and encryption rules. If a proxy database was set up as part of the installation, all proxies must use the same proxy database.

## Prozedur

1. Install the proxy using the appropriate command.  
   For more information, see [Install the Edge Encryption proxy server (interactive installer)](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/iWdM~iAu0xFRM7WoRZ9dzg "Install the Edge Encryption proxy on a Windows or Linux computer.").
2. Copy all the encryption keys and the edgeencryption.properties file from the first proxy to the new proxy.  
   Encryption keys may be located in the proxy keystore, in the /keys directory, or in a SafeNet KeySecure keystore.
3. Open the edgeencryption.properties file on the new proxy.
4. Change the following properties:  
   {#t_AddAdditionalProxies__table_snq_5hn_gz__entry__2}

   | Property | Description |
   |-|-|
   | edgeencryption.proxy.name | Unique name of the proxy server |
   | edgeencryption.proxy.host | The server name, IP address, or fully-qualified domain name of the computer running the proxy. |
   | edgeencryption.proxy.http.port | Port on the proxy for HTTP communication. Must be unique across all processes on the machine. |
   | edgeencryption.proxy.https.port | Port on the proxy for HTTPS communication. Must be unique across processes on the machine. |

5. If installing the proxy server on a Windows machine, you must change the name of the service. by opening the conf/wrapper.conf file on the new proxy and adding the properties listed in the following table.  
   Hinweis:  
   You must perform this step before launching the proxy server.  
   {#t_AddAdditionalProxies__table_mcw_dkn_gz__entry__2}

   | Property | Description |
   |-|-|
   | wrapper.ntservice.name | Unique name of the Edge Encryption proxy service. |
   | wrapper.ntservice.displayname | Edge Encryption proxy service display name. |
   | wrapper.ntservice.description (Optional) | Proxy server description. |

6. Save and close the file.
7. Launch the proxy using the appropriate command.  
   For more information, see [Start the Edge Encryption proxy](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yFEqYWg6Qah_4PSVkaeg7g "After an Edge Encryption proxy is installed and configured, you can start the proxy from the command line.").
