Prerequisites

You have the operation permissions for the Host module.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your bastion host.
  2. Choose Resource > Host in the navigation pane on the left.
  3. Click the Proxy Server tab and then New. In the displayed dialog box, edit the proxy server information.

    Table 1 Proxy server parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Server Name

    Name of the proxy server. You can enter 1 to 128 characters.

    Proxy Type

    Select a proxy type. Currently, only SOCKS5 is supported.

    Server Address

    The private or public IP address of the server that is created as the proxy server.

    The IP address must be able to communicate with the bastion host.

    Port

    Port for the proxy server to access.

    The default port for SOCKS5 is 1080. If a fixed port is set, enter the fixed port number.

    Department

    Select a department. If no department is available, create one.

    Server Account

    Username for the account for logging in to the proxy server.

    Password

    Password of the account for logging in to the proxy server.

    Test connectivity

    When creating a server, you can test its connectivity.

    You are advised to select this option. If this option is not selected, the connectivity of the proxy server cannot be ensured, so the server may fail to manage or maintain resources.

  4. Confirm the information and click OK.
