Connect Through a Proxy Server

If you are unable to allow outbound internet access for the machine that Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare is running on, another option is using an HTTP web proxy or firewall that supports HTTP CONNECT proxy requests. To do this, edit either the mcserver.vmoptions or mcservice.vmoptions file, depending on whether you're running mcserver directly, or using the service/daemon to run mcservice. Add the following options: -Dconnect.license.proxy.host=thehost-Dconnect.license.proxy.port=theport Replace "thehost" and "theport" with the actual hostname/IP and port of your HTTP proxy server. If your proxy server requires Basic Authentication, you can specify those credentials with these options: -Dconnect.license.proxy.username=theusername-Dconnect.license.proxy.password=thepassword Parent topic: Online Validation

Online Validation

Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare contacts our public license server when it starts up, and thereafter once a day in case there are changes. This is the preferred validation method, as it allows your server to pick up license changes on a real-time basis without any further intervention from you. For example if you renew your license, change your support tier (for example from Gold to Platinum) or your machine fingerprint changes, the next validation request uses and receive the most up-to-date information. Warning: With this method your server does need outbound access to our license server at www.connectlicenseserver.com.

Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare will not contact our license server at all, instead the validation data is embedded directly into mirth.properties and the server will check that data upon startup. No internet or proxy access is needed with this method. However, if there are any changes to your license such as the expiration date (renewals), support tier (for example changing from Enterprise to Gold), or your machine fingerprint changes, it will require you to go through this validation process again manually.
