Proxy Configuration (Java)

Basic Proxy

If the application running the SDK requires a proxy to access the internet, the TargetClient will need to be configured with a proxy configuration as follows.

Basic Proxy Config

ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
    .client("acmeclient")
    .organizationId("1234567890@AdobeOrg")
    .proxyConfig(new ClientProxyConfig(host,port))
    .build();
TargetClient targetClient = TargetClient.create(clientConfig);

Authentication

If a proxy authentication is required, the credentials can be passed as parameters to the ClientProxyConfig constructor, as per the below example. Note that this only works for simple username/password proxy authentication.

Basic Proxy Authentication

ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
    .client("acmeclient")
    .organizationId("1234567890@AdobeOrg")
    .proxyConfig(new ClientProxyConfig(host,port,username,password))
    .build();
TargetClient targetClient = TargetClient.create(clientConfig);

On-device decisioning

For requests to fetch the rules artifact, your proxy should be configured to not cache the response. However, if it is not possible to configure the proxy’s caching mechanism for that request, use a configuration option as a workaround to bypass the proxy-level cache. This workaround adds the Authorization header with an empty string value to the rules request, which should indicate to the proxy that the response should not be cached.

In order to enable this workaround, set the following:

ClientConfig.builder()
    .shouldArtifactRequestBypassProxyCache(true)
    .build();
