Consuming external public SOAP web service behind proxy

[AntonioMelo]

Hey,

I am implementing a new flow in blueprism that needs to access an external SOAP service public on the internet. Unfortunately, our machines do not have a direct connection to the outside and we can only establish communications through an http proxy.

Can you help me dicover if is it possible to somehow configure a proxy for external calls to SOAP services, configured in system tab?

I can not find any way to do this...

Thanks,

Hi @AntonioMelo

If i'm not wrong, by default BP use the same proxy that you have configured in your runtime machine (The digital worker). You can change this from the Internet Options Window.

I assume that you are using the functionality for SOAP Web Service that you have in the system tab.

​
Hope this helps you.

See you in the community!

Hi Antonio,

There may be some useful information in this Knowledge Base article you could implement for this: "How can I set a proxy for HTTP requests sent through the Web API Services feature?".

Although this article is primarily about the Web APIs functionality, it contains some suggestions to try at the O/S level and/or by using the HTTP VBO.

Hi Pablo,

Thanks for the help, after some tests I verified that the runtime was using the proxy configured in the system and that it is just an authentication problem, unfortunately my corporate proxy requires authentication.

Do you know if there is any way to config proxy auth tru runtime .exe aplication?

Strange is that blue prism studio does not use proxy in the same way when we are configuring a SOAP service in the system tab.

Thanks again,
