Use a Proxy Server to Access the Repository

The Salesforce Connector might need to use a proxy server to access the repository. The connector does not use a proxy server by default but you can configure the proxy server to use by following these steps.

To use a proxy server

  1. Open the connector's configuration file.
  2. In the [Connector] section, configure the proxy server using one of the following options:

    • To use the system proxy settings, as configured through Internet Explorer or the Windows Control Panel, set the parameter UseSystemProxy=TRUE.
    • To specify the proxy server manually, set the following configuration parameters:

      ProxyHost The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use to access the repository.
      ProxyPort The port of the proxy server to use to access the repository.
      ProxyUsername (Optional) The user name to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
      ProxyPassword (Optional) The password to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
  3. Save and close the configuration file.
