If your network uses a web proxy, you can set up the Edge Encryption proxy to use the web
proxy.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

If your network does not use a web proxy, leave the [web proxy
properties](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/11zZkc8NDA9UEYvX8O_edw "The edgeencryption.properties configuration file located in the <installation directory>/conf/ folder contains properties used to configure your environment.") in the configuration file commented out.

The Edge Encryption proxy server
supports HTTP connection to and basic authentication with the web proxy.

## Prozedur

1. Change to the \<installation directory\>/conf/ directory.
2. Open the edgeencryption.properties file.
3. Configure the [web proxy
   properties](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/11zZkc8NDA9UEYvX8O_edw "The edgeencryption.properties configuration file located in the <installation directory>/conf/ folder contains properties used to configure your environment.").
4. Save and close the edgeencryption.properties file.
5. If the web proxy is using a customer-specific server certificate, add this certificate to the JVM used by the Edge Encryption proxy server to establish trust between the web proxy and the Edge Encryption proxy server.
   1. Use the `cd` command to navigate to \<Java home directory\>/jre/lib/security/cacerts
   2. Execute the command: `keytool -keystore cacerts -importcert
      -alias <chooseAlias> -file <certificateFile>`

Set these limits to avoid performance issues in your Edge Encryption implementation.")
