Veeam API Proxy times out connecting to a platform that uses a non-default HTTP port

TroubleshootingZVF · Veeam API ProxyVersions1.0.xArticle IDKB-100572Updated2026-09-15

Source and classification

  • Source: Site case from the Veeam integration Technical Support group.
  • Classification: Configuration and environment issue.
  • Confirmation basis: The site used HTTP and a non-default ZSphere access port. API Proxy lacked the actual platform address, port, and context path, so its Java service timed out connecting to the platform. An in-place API Proxy installation with the actual parameters restored service.
  • Internal tracking: No related Jira.

Issue metadata

  • Issue ID: None.
  • Component/product: ZSphere, Cloud, and Veeam API Proxy.
  • Status: Resolution available.
  • Priority/severity: General.
  • Affected versions: Confirmed in API Proxy 1.0.x site environments; for other versions using a non-default platform address, check actual configuration.
  • First fixed version: Not applicable; correct platform-access parameters resolve this issue.
  • Confirmation date: June 5, 2026.
