Command is:

CONFIG=/app/conf/dynatrace/gateway

Is there something we are missing here?

I bet that's your proxy asking for authentication:

I thought that could be the case, the error does seem to indicate that the authentication is needed at Dynatrace.

Hi We are facing a similar issue when installing Activegate-Linux with PROXY parameter. Our proxy does not require authentication. Any hints how to resolve the problem appreciated.

Thanks

Has anyone successfully setup the Activegate-Linux with PROXY parameter? We are having the same issue? I appreciate if you can share how you resolved the issue.

Did you try to use the standard URL format for the proxy parameter? The https://username:password@proxy:port
Or export this variable prior to installation?

I think the gateway will install event without connectivity to cluster and you can specify the proxy parameters in config file afterwards.

Julius, thanks for your respond. We are not using uid/pwd in our proxy and what we are trying to achieve is to do SSL Interception. I have set the URL, Port and Proxy-scheme to https. I have also imported the certificate to the custom keystore but we are getting SSL handshake error.
