Minemeld behind corporate proxy

L1 Bithead

Following all the requirements for proxy configuration - https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/MineMeld-Discussions/Minemeld-with-Proxy/m-p/77356/highlight/tr...

I can perform a curl request, for example curl https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/edrop.txt and get back a response.

/etc/default/minemeld is configured with the proxy settings as well as /etc/environment.

But still getting an error:

Any other configuration required?

Hi @calamari,

from the error (Cannot connect to proxy.', gaierror(-5, 'No address associated with hostname')))) it seems that the MineMeld instance cannot resolved the proxy DNS Name.

Could you issue the following command on the MM instance ?

$ dig <proxy hostname>

Thanks, but the proxy is setup as an IP address rather than a hostname. Not sure why MM would be looking for a hostname. perhaps I could just define one in /etc/hosts.

Could you double check the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY variables ? They should look like:

export HTTP_PROXY="http://10.10.1.10:3128"
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://10.10.1.10:1080"

Within /etc/default/minemeld I have the proxy settings set as you said. The only difference is that the proxy requires authentication, so I have the entries in the form:

 

export HTTP_PROXY="http://domain%5Cusername:password@10.10.1.10:3128"
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://domain%5Cusername:password@10.10.1.10:1080"

Hi @calamari,

please could you try removing the domain from the variables and see if the error in the log becomes an authentication error ?

export HTTP_PROXY="http://username:password@10.10.1.10:3128"
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://username:password@10.10.1.10:1080"
