I have enabled the proxy on the gateway by placing
wrapper.java.additional.10=-Dvision.urlproxy.enabled=true
In my ignition.conf file.
Is it possible to add some sort of authentication (even just http basic) to this built in proxy?
No, nothing like that is available.
Thats fine, we will just set up our own proxy with auth.
That’s what we’d prefer. The feature was only disabled by default rather than removed as a backwards compatibility escape hatch.
