IDE Plugin Proxy and CA Settings

If your organization routes traffic through a corporate proxy or uses a custom Certificate Authority (CA) for SSL/TLS inspection, the Aikido IDE plugin may not be able to connect. You will need to configure your IDE's proxy and/or CA settings so the plugin can reach *.aikido.dev.

Verify you can access ide.aikido.dev via proxy before continuing with next steps. You can find test commands on our troubleshooting connectivity page.
