Configure Proxy

Configure proxy settings to control how Agent Factory validates server-side outbound requests and user-supplied proxy URLs.

Proxy settings are global application settings. You can update them only when you are signed in as an administrator. Changes apply to all users in the deployment.

If you are not an administrator, you can view proxy settings, but you cannot update them.

Configure Proxy Settings

  1. Sign in to Agent Factory as an administrator.

  2. In the left navigation menu, select Application Settings.

  3. Select the Proxy Settings tab.

  4. Review the proxy and outbound URL security controls.

  5. In the Action column, toggle each setting to match your deployment requirements. See Proxy Settings Reference.

    Tip: Keep insecure HTTP and user-supplied proxies set to No unless your deployment has an explicit operational requirement. Keep private-network blocking set to Yes to reduce Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) risk.

  6. Confirm that Agent Factory displays the Preference updated successfully notification.

After the preferences are updated, Agent Factory applies the changes to subsequent outbound requests. When a URL, proxy value, or update request does not comply with the configured settings, Agent Factory returns a validation error.

Note:

Proxy Settings Reference

The Proxy Settings tab contains the following controls.

Setting Recommended Value Description
Allow Insecure Http URLs No Controls whether protected user-supplied outbound target URLs can use plain http. When it is set to No, target URLs must use https.
Allow User Supplied Proxy No Controls whether users can provide custom proxy URLs for data source or connection-test flows. When it is set to No, Agent Factory rejects user-provided proxy values.
Block Private Outbound URLs Yes Controls whether Agent Factory blocks outbound URLs that resolve to private, loopback, link-local, multicast, reserved, or unspecified IP addresses.
