How I can connect to Azure AD via proxy server.

We have an Azure Active Directory connector and our connection to the Azure is made with IQService that has a connection to Microsoft’s servers only via proxy server.

How can I set the IQService to approach the proxy server without using a cloud getway?

Thanks

Hi @shaysapir

You can install IQservice on on-prem machine but connectivity to Azure cloud must be in place. If conectivity if through proxy, you should set your proxy to allow traffic between your on-prem machine to Azure cloud

Hi @ismaelmoreno1, thanks a lot.

My proxy is allowing traffic between our machine to Azure cloud,  
but how do I set the IQService to connect to the Azure through the proxy?  
is there any configuration?

Thanks,  
Shay
