Configuring an HTTPS Proxy for IAM Authentication

You can configure the connector to pass IAM authentication processes through a proxy server.

Note:

You can also configure the connector to connect to the data source through a proxy server, so that communications between the connector and your Redshift data source are passed through a proxy server. For more information, see Configuring a Proxy Connection.

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 an HTTPS proxy for IAM authentication:

  1. Set the Https_Proxy_Host property to the host name or IP address of the proxy server.
  2. Set the Https_Proxy_Port property to the number of the 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 Https_Proxy_Username property to your user name for accessing the proxy server.
    2. Set the Https_Proxy_Password property to the password corresponding to the user name.
  4. To pass the authentication processes for identity providers through the proxy server, set the IdP_Use_Https_Proxy property to 1.
