Customizing connection setting for the HTTP proxy environment

The Enclosure Monitor Manager and Enclosure Monitor Service work with the WinHTTP networking

infrastructure and its default settings. The Internet Explorer setting would be applied to the monitor

manager in the current user's context. However, the Internet Explorer setting cannot be applied to

the monitor service because it runs on a Local Service account. To modify the HTTP proxy setting

to the monitor service, follow the steps described in the following sections.

Configuring a proxy server

1. Open File Explorer and locate the following folder:

%Program Files%\HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager

2007\Monitor Service

2. Make a backup copy of the following configuration file:

HPBladeSystemEnclosureMonitorService.exe.config

3. Open the configuration file with an ASCII editor such as Notepad.

4. Locate the </configSections> XML element and insert the following XML code immediately

after it. The </configSections> element is shown for clarity.

</configSections>

<system.net>

</defaultProxy>

</system.net>

The proxyaddress attribute defines the proxy address and port number. For more information,

see the Microsoft website (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sa91de1e.aspx).

5. Save the configuration file.

6. Restart the monitor service from Service Control Manager.
