No proxy | (Default) If selected, the DS-Client will connect directly to the DS-NOC or Cloud site. |
Auto-detect proxy settings for this network | If selected, DS-Client will try to find the proxy server automatically. The auto-detection method depends on the type of DS-Client. Linux DS-Client searches for the URL http://wpad/wpad.dat. If the URL exists, DS-Client acquires a proxy server and port from the URL and uses the proxy server to connect to DS-NOC / Cloud site. Windows DS-Client tries to find the proxy server using one of the following methods. If one method fails, the next method is tried. • Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD) URL: This method locates the URL of a configuration file using DHCP and/or DNS discovery methods. – Windows DS-Client checks the DHCP server first. Ensure that the DHCP server is configured to serve up the “site-local” option 252 (“auto-proxy-config”) with a string value of http://xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq/wpad.dat where xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq is the IP or DNS address of a web server. – If DHCP fails to provide the required information, Windows DS-Client tries to find the URL of the configuration file by checking the DNS server. If the network name of the DS-Client computer. – If DS-Client finds the WPAD URL (using either DHCP or DNS), it will load and analyze it. Then it will use the proxy server specified to connect to DS-NOC / cloud site. – If DS-Client fails to find the WPAD URL, it will try the next method: • Internet Explorer’s configuration: This method is the equivalent checking the proxy server settings in Internet Explorer (if logged on as the DS-Client service account). – Windows DS-Client tries to find the DS-Client Service Account’s Internet Explorer configuration to get the proxy server settings. – If DS-Client fails to find a proxy server, it will try the next method: • WinHTTP settings: This method checks the DS-Client computer’s registry for a default proxy server setting. The WinHTTP default setting is saved in the Windows Registry and is defined by using the "netsh winhttp" command. |
Manual proxy configuration | If selected, you must enter the address of the proxy server in the corresponding boxes, including the port number to use. • Use the same proxy server for all protocols: Select to use only one Proxy Server address and port number for HTTP, HTTPS and IMAP connections. |
Automatic proxy configuration URL | If selected, you must enter a URL to a Proxy Auto Configure file accessible to the DS-Client. The DS-Client will obtain the proxy server address and port number to use from this file. • Enter the full URL in this box, starting with “http://”. |
Server requires authentication If required, supply the credentials to the Proxy Server here. • User Name • Password • Confirm | |
