You configure the following proxy settings:

  • Proxy

  • No proxy

  • Custom port

After you have configured the proxy settings, you save the proxy settings by clicking "Configure".

Proxy

In the "Proxy" tab, you activate, if needed, the use of a proxy server and configure the proxy server.

To configure the proxy server, proceed as follows:

In case of an additional authentication for the proxy server, enter user name and the corresponding password in the according input fields.
When authentication is required, the proxy password must match the following criteria:

  1. To use a proxy server, click the "Use a proxy server" check box.
    The input fields for the proxy server are enabled.
  2. Enter the IP address and the corresponding port of the proxy server in the according input fields.
  3. In case of an additional authentication for the proxy server, enter user name and the corresponding password in the according input fields.
    • The password must start with an alphabetic character
    • The password must not contain complex characters, such as \ . * "
    • The password must not be longer than 21 characters

The settings apply for HTTP and HTTPS proxy servers.

No proxy

In the "No Proxy" tab, add all IP addresses which shall be accessed directly (without use of proxy).

By default, several no proxy addresses are listed which are required to communicate with the IEM.

If you want to add a further IP address which shall be accessed directly, enter the IP or domain in the "IP" input field and click the add_user.png icon.

You can delete No Proxy IP addresses with the icon_bin.png icon.

Custom port

In the "Custom Port" tab, you configure ports for apps which use the configured ports for outgoing communication through the proxy on HTTP or HTTPS protocols.

By default, several ports are listed which are required by the Edge Device.

NOTICE

Default no proxy addresses and ports
The default no proxy addresses can be deleted, but default custom port can not be deleted.

If you want to add a port, select the required protocol from the "Protocol" drop-down list and enter the required port. To add the port, click the add_user.png icon.
