Configuring a Proxy Connection

You can configure the connector to connect to Redshift through a proxy server, so that communications between the connector and your Redshift data source are passed through the proxy server.

Note:

You can also configure the connector to pass IAM authentication processes through a proxy server. For more information, see Configuring an HTTPS Proxy for IAM Authentication.

You can set the connection properties described below in a connection string or in a DSN (in the odbc.ini file). Settings in the connection string take precedence over settings in the DSN.

To configure a proxy connection:

  1. Set the ProxyHost property to the host name or IP address of the proxy server.
  2. Set the ProxyPort property the number of the TCP port that the proxy server uses to listen for client connections.
  3. If the proxy server requires authentication, then do the following:
    1. Set the ProxyUid property to your user name for accessing the proxy server.
    2. Set the ProxyPwd property to the password corresponding to the user name.
