Proxy Configuration

When deploying Polaris through our Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Marketplace offers, you will be asked to configure some parameters of the Polaris Proxy. The configuration options are identical for both cloud providers.

  • Enable Input Encryption: Determines whether the Polaris Proxy should expect encrypted input requests. If enabled, the proxy will decrypt the input requests before forwarding them to the client workload. Refer to the Polaris SDK for instructions on implementing encrypted input requests in your servers or applications.
  • Enable Output Encryption: Determines whether the Polaris Proxy should encrypt output responses before sending them back to the client. Refer to the Polaris SDK for guidance on decrypting output responses in your servers or applications.
  • Enable CORS Policy: If you are communicating with the Polaris container directly from a web browser, enable CORS for the proxy.
  • Enable Logging: Configures the Polaris Proxy to log high-level metadata about all incoming and outgoing requests. Logs include only the URLs being processed and the HTTP status codes. No request or response data is logged.
  • Image Version: By default, Polaris is configured to use the latest version of the Polaris Proxy. If you prefer a specific version, you can specify a Docker image tag or image hash here.
