Connecting to a proxy server via Edge

Collibra Data Lineage supports proxy server connection and authentication. Specifically, Collibra Data Lineage automatically applies all proxy settings that are configured on Edge.

For Collibra Data Lineage to connect to a data source that requires a proxy, you can configure a forward proxy on Edge when you install your Edge site. For detailed steps, go to configure a forward proxy on Edge. Note that the proxyUsername and proxyPassword properties are required when you configure the forward proxy; otherwise, an error might occur when Collibra Data Lineage tries to connect to the data source.

When you add and synchronize the technical lineage capability on Edge, Collibra Data Lineage uses these proxy settings to establish connections to your data source to collect the metadata and create the technical lineage.

Important Proxy server support is added to each technical lineage capability. If you encounter a connection error while synchronizing a technical lineage capability for a data source with a forward proxy configured, contact Collibra Support.
