3.5.3 Selecting a Proxy Server
Connecting to the Internet is necessary for updating tests, validating license keys, and sending
support packages.
To select a proxy server:
Home window>>System configuration>>Management server
1 Select Use a proxy server for Internet connections.
2 Enter the IP address or hostname of the server that will act as the proxy for Internet connections
in the Proxy server IP address text field.
3 Enter the port used for connecting to the proxy server in the Proxy server port text field.
4 If your proxy server requires authentication, select the Proxy server is
authenticated check box.
4a Authentication method — Select the scheme used to authenticate credentials on the
proxy server. The following methods are supported:
Basic (not recommended) — The original and most compatible authentication
scheme for HTTP. Also the least secure because it sends the user ID and password to
the server unencrypted.
Digest — Added in the HTTP 1.1 protocol, this scheme is significantly more secure
than basic authentication because it never transfers the actual password across the
network, but instead uses it to encrypt a "nonce" value sent from the server.
Negotiable — Using this scheme, the client and the proxy server negotiate a scheme
for authentication. Ultimately, either the basic or digest scheme will be used.
4b Enter the ID of a user account on the proxy server in the User name text box.
4c Enter the password of the user account specified in the User name text box in the
Password text box.
4d Re-enter the password.
5 Click ok.
