In some environments, your application may need to connect through a proxy server. At a minimum, your application needs to provide the following connection information if the application connects through a proxy server:
Server name or IP address of the proxy server
Port number on which the proxy server is listening for HTTPS requests
In addition, if authentication is required, your application may need to provide a valid user ID and password for the proxy server. Consult with your system administrator for the required information.
If your environment requires a proxy server, the connection information for the proxy server can be specified in the ProxyHost, ProxyPort, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword connection attributes. See Proxy tab options for details about these attributes.
