Using a Forward Proxy with SugarChimp

SugarChimp supports the use of a proxy for all outbound curl requests. To setup the integration to use the proxy, you need to update the configuration option 'outbound_proxy' to 'proxy_ip_address:port'

Example

If your proxy server is at 192.168.13.108 port 443, then you would update the configuration option for 'outbound_proxy' to '192.168.13.108:443'.  To update the configuration option, simply run this query against your database: 

UPDATE config SET value='192.168.13.108:443' WHERE name='outbound_proxy' AND category='sugarchimp';

If you need to update this script from the browser, you can navigate to the SugarChimp Health Status page, right-click the background, and choose 'inspect' (in Google Chrome only, as the other browsers will vary slightly). Find the console tab, and run this command in the console: 

SUGAR.App.api.call('get',SUGAR.App.api.buildURL('SugarChimp/setting/outbound_proxy/192.168.13.108:443'),{},{});

Once updated, you should be able to navigate to the SugarChimp PreChecks and see that SugarChimp is using the proxy server. SugarChimp does not currently support any server authorization on the proxy forward.
