Proxy Settings

Settings > Configuration > Proxy Settings: enable proxies separately for Shift-Left Engine and Shift-Left Agent based on execution mode.

Proxy Settings

Configure proxy servers for API testing. The appropriate proxy will be automatically used based on your selected execution mode.

Use this screen when outbound API traffic must go through a corporate proxy. For the engine URL and Reconfigure flow, see Server Connection.

Where to find everything: Administration Settings.

Actions

  • Reset to defaults — restores proxy settings to defaults (top right of the section).

Engine vs Agent

Two side-by-side areas:

AreaPurpose
Shift-Left EngineProxy for tests that run on the engine (scheduled and manual server-side execution).
Shift-Left AgentProxy for tests run locally through the desktop application.

In each area:

  • Enable proxy — turn proxy routing on or off for that execution path.
  • Save settings — apply changes for that card.

Proxy configuration (information footer): explains that settings differ by execution mode and that proxy authentication uses HTTP Basic Auth (when your proxy requires credentials, configure them per your deployment’s fields).

Practices

  • Set engine vs agent proxies to match how your teams actually run tests.
  • Validate proxy credentials before large scheduled runs.
  • Disable proxy when not required to reduce latency and failure points.
