# 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.](https://help.aikido.dev/ai-and-dev-tools/ide-plugins-overview/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-ide-plugin-connectivity)

### VS Code (and variants like Cursor, Windsurf)

1. Configure your proxy in VS Code's settings. See [Network Connections in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/network).
2. Add your custom CA certificate to your operating system's trust store. VS Code reads certificates from the OS by default
3. Enable Download All Dependencies From Aikido Domain in the Aikido extension settings. Open Settings > search for `aikido` > enable Download All Dependencies From Aikido Domain.

### JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, etc.)

1. Configure your proxy under Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy. See [HTTP Proxy - JetBrains docs](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/settings-http-proxy.html).
2. Add your custom CA certificate under Settings > Tools > Server Certificates, or add it to your OS trust store. See [Trusted root certificates - JetBrains docs](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/ssl-certificates.html).

### Visual Studio

1. Configure your proxy using the built-in Proxy Configuration page or your Windows system proxy. See [Configure proxy settings in Visual Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/proxy-settings) and [Troubleshoot proxy and firewall issues](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/proxy-firewall-troubleshoot).
2. Add your custom CA certificate to the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. See [Troubleshoot proxy and firewall issues - SSL certificate errors](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/proxy-firewall-troubleshoot).

### Eclipse

1. Configure your proxy under Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections. Set the Active Provider to Manual and configure the HTTP and HTTPS entries. See [Eclipse Network Connections](https://help.eclipse.org/latest/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-net-preferences.htm).
2. Add your custom CA certificate to your OS trust store. If Eclipse still shows certificate errors, import the certificate into Eclipse's JRE trust store using `keytool`. See [Eclipse Network Connections](https://help.eclipse.org/latest/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-net-preferences.htm).
