Hi Sean,

In my enironment I am using windows server as a repeater and I want to use this for NSH proxy.

I think Dante is for Linux ??

I installed Wingate and configured Socks proxy, it is working.

But it is killing the performance, it is taking long time to execute a job

Ex.. A  Patch Analysis Job earlier used to take 2-3 minutes, now it needs 15 minutes for execution.

Is there any fine tuning I have to do on the Socks proxy etc ?

I am using NSH proxy on app server, Do I have to configure secure file on the proxy server ?

I further fine tuned the networking rules and proxy configuration, things seem to be improved but not significantly

I tested few patch deploy jobs, the staging of the package happens quickly on the target but then to execute instructions on the package it takes 5-6 minutes (At this time the Patch repository is mounted on to Target)

So there is a delay (5-6 minutes) between staging of package and executing instruction (deploy-job) to deploy package.

I have done further tests and fine tuned the configuration with wingate SOCKS, now the performance have improved significantly (Similar to direct connection to target).

Also I have installed DANTE proxy and this to works like a charm, now the performance of both DANTE and Wingate is same.

After taking in to consideration few other criterias (Socks App Architecture etc), I would recommend to use DANTE proxy on Linux (as mentioned by Sean and Adam) because Wingate is a 32 bit app and this might cause problem when large no of targets are managed by Bladelogic via Wingate Socks.

But for those on WIndows platform Wingate Socks works quite well with Bladelogic, I have tested with nearly 50 targets in my Development environment.

Thankyou Sean, Adam and Scot for the help.
