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.

VS Code (and variants like Cursor, Windsurf)

VS Code Proxy Setup

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

Jetbrains Proxy Setup

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 and Troubleshoot proxy and firewall issues.

2. Add your custom CA certificate to the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. See Troubleshoot proxy and firewall issues - SSL certificate errors.

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.

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.
