Configuring Proxy Servers for the Secure Access Client

When the Secure Access Client connects, before downloading polices from the Firebox SSL VPN Gate-
way, the Secure Access Client queries the operating system for client proxy settings. If auto-detection is
enabled, the Secure Access Client automatically changes client proxy settings to match settings stored
in the operating system. The Secure Access Client attempts to connect to the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway,
download pre-authentication policies, and then prompt the users for their logon credentials. If the
Secure Access Client cannot automatically detect the client proxy settings, it resorts to a straight con-
nection without using the proxy server. Automatic detection of the proxy settings is configured in the
Advanced Options dialog box in the Secure Access Client.
Users can also manually configure a proxy server from the Secure Access Client. When a proxy server is
manually configured, this disables the automatic detection of proxy settings.
To manually configure a proxy server
1
On the desktop of the client computer, click the Secure Access Client icon to open the logon dialog box.
2
Right-click anywhere in the Secure Access Client logon dialog box and select Advanced Options.
3
In the WatchGuard Secure Access Options dialog box, under Proxy settings, select Manually
configure proxy server.
4
In IP Address and Port, type the IP address and port number.
5
If authentication is required by the server, select Proxy server requires authentication.
The Advanced Options dialog box can also be opened by right-clicking the WatchGuard Secure Access
icon on the desktop and then clicking Properties.
