Configure View to Use a Proxy Server
To allow the View service to access HTTP documents using a proxy server, you must configure the details for the proxy server in the IDOL View component configuration file.
-
Open the IDOL View component configuration file in a text editor.
-
Find the
[Viewing]
section. -
Set
ProxyHost
to the IP address or host name of your proxy server. For example:ProxyHost=proxy.example.com
-
Set
ProxyPort
to the port that View must use to communicate with the proxy server. For example:ProxyPort=8080
-
If the proxy server requires NTLM authentication, set
NTLMProxy
toTrue
. For example:NTLMProxy=True
-
If the proxy server requires a user name and password, set
ProxyLogin
andProxyPassword
. For example:ProxyLogin=idolview ProxyPassword=9szJwMkD28A
-
If you set
NTLMProxy
toTrue
, you must setProxyLogin
to a fully qualified NTLM login. For example:ProxyLogin=mydomain\\myusername
-
Set
NoProxyHostsCSVs
to a comma-separated list of host names for which the View service does not use the Proxy server. You can use Wildcard values. For example:NoProxyHostsCSVs=localhost,*.companyname.com

Save and close the configuration file.

Restart the IDOL View component for your changes to take effect.
