How to connect SmartSense through firewall proxy

[#1]

Our firewall prevents connection of HST Gateway to HortonWorks. Our security team wants us to direct everything through our FTP Proxy. Anybody know how? Otherwise I'll have to do it all manually.

See if this helps

Otherwise manual approach

Thanks, but I earlier used this doc to set up the ini file and, as expected, our firewall blocks any direct connection. So after I issue "hst gateway start" the gateway shuts down with an error that it cannot connect to hortonworks.com.

Hi @thomas sandidge - Right now the Gateway requires a direct SFTP connection to Hortonworks. We're working on an authenticated HTTPS proxy solution for our next release. Would that alternative work for your security team?

HTTPS Proxy support was released in SmartSense 1.3.0. For more information see the following links:
