Connect to a proxy server

Collibra Data Lineage supports proxy server connection and authentication. Specifically, the technical lineage capability automatically applies all proxy settings that are configured on Edge. Technical lineage for Databricks Unity Catalog also supports a forward proxy that decrypts TLS traffic, a so-called man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy.

The following proxies are supported when you create technical lineage for Databricks Unity Catalog:

Pass through (No authentication)
Pass through (Basic authentication)
MITM (No authentication)
MITM (Basic authentication)
No proxy for noProxy hosts defined by 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.

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

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.
