# 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.](/ai-and-dev-tools/ide-plugins-overview/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-ide-plugin-connectivity.md)

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

### 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).

### Still having issues?

Check the connectivity steps in [Troubleshooting IDE Plugin Connectivity](https://help.aikido.dev/ai-and-dev-tools/ide-plugins-overview/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-ide-plugin-connectivity). If the issue persists, contact the Aikido support team with your debug logs and connectivity check output.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/ai-and-dev-tools/ide-plugins-overview/troubleshooting/ide-plugin-proxy-and-ca-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
