Hi guys,
is there a way to use a web proxy to backup Exchange/Sharepoint/Onedrive Online ?
since only https connections are used, it should be possible to forward backup requests to a web proxy instead of place am AccessNode in the DMZ.
I cannot find any hints for that in BOL

I believe this is possible with an internet proxy.
Note this must be run as system
You would not configure anything different in commvault but we must set the server to use the proxy so when we run the powershell commands the proxy is used:
Downloaded PSTools
PsExec - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs
Open command prompt as admin
Changed the directory to where the PSTools is extracted to and ran the following command:
PSExec.exe -i -s -d cmd.exe
Changed the directory to c:\program Files\Internet Explorer\ and open Internet explorer
Changed the configuration on the Internet explorer to run using the Proxy server specified Destination ip and port.
This sets the proxy settings for the machines system account so that when we initiate commands as system account it has the proxy config
Hi Scott,
this nearly worked.
Unfortunately the IIS on the CommServe (not the CommandCenter), still tries to communicate directly with Microsoft’s login portal, when setting up the configuration.
All later backup traffic was able to use the proxies.
we finally had to provide direct access to the login portals for the CommServe to successfully setup the M365 backups.

Hello,
please I would like to reopen this question. Did anyone succeed to use proxy server for accessing O365 on-premise Access Node? There is no option to configure proxy inside O365 plugin. And the one configured in “Connections” is not working and global proxy netsh also not working….. Thank you.
