Configuring the Proxy Profile

When performing a Basic Scan and using proxy settings from a Proxy Automatic Configuration (PAC) file or specifying Explicit Proxy Settings, you can configure the proxy options in the Proxy Profile window.

To access the Proxy Profile window:

Configure proxy using a PAC file

Load proxy settings from a Proxy Automatic Configuration (PAC) file. Specify the file location in the URL box.

Explicitly configure proxy

Configure a proxy by entering the requested information.

  1. In the Server box, type the URL or IP address of your proxy server, followed (in the Port box) by the port number (for example, 8080).

  2. From the Type list, select a protocol for handling TCP traffic through a proxy server:

    • SOCKS4

    • SOCKS5

    • Standard

  3. If authentication is required, select a type from the Authentication list:

    • Automatic

    • Basic

    • Digest

    • Kerberos

    • Negotiate

    • NT LAN Manager (NTLM)

  4. If your proxy server requires authentication, enter the qualifying user name and password.

  5. If you do not need to use a proxy server to access certain IP addresses (such as internal testing sites), enter the addresses or URLs in the Bypass Proxy For box. Use commas to separate entries.
