Solution notes

The following new properties have been added to
com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch7.configuration.ElasticsearchConfiguration (Elasticsearch 7 in System Settings) and
com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch7.configuration.ElasticsearchConnectionConfiguration (Elasticsearch Connections in System Settings):

proxyHost
proxyPort (defaults to "0")
proxyUserName
proxyPassword

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use the official documentation to configure Liferay DXP to connect to Elasticsearch on Elastic Cloud: https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046314732
2. Configure a proxy between your Liferay server and Elastic Cloud, so that all external requests from your Liferay server network require proxy.
3. Start your server using system properties http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort to use your proxy configuration.

 

Actual Results:

Connection isn't possible

 

Expected Results:

Connection should be possible.
