Bypass Proxy Configuration 

By default, Cloud Agent for Solaris will operate in non-proxy mode. But in the event that you are already using proxy mode and need to switch to non-proxy mode, you need to configure the agent to use no_proxy in the /etc/environment. Environment variable 'no_proxy' is used to bypass the proxy. Curl library honors 'no_proxy' environment variable. If ‘no_proxy’ is set, curl will not use a proxy even if any proxy environment variable is set.

Here are the steps to enable the Solaris agent to use a no_proxy for communication with our cloud platform:

  1. Edit /etc/environment file.
  2. Add the following line (boldfaced) where qualys_https_proxy is mentioned:
    qualys_https_proxy=https://[<username>:<password>@]<host>[:<port>]
    no_proxy=<pod domain name>
