SharePoint Remote Connector 24.2

# Use a Proxy Server to Access the Repository

The SharePoint Remote 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. Decide how to configure the proxy server.

   - To use the same proxy server for all tasks, find the `[Connector]` section of the configuration file. If you configure a proxy server in the `[Connector]` section, you must not set any proxy parameters for individual tasks.
   - To configure a proxy server for a specific task, ensure that there are no proxy parameters set in the `[Connector]` section, and then find the relevant task section.

3. Configure the proxy server to use.

   - 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.

4. Save and close the configuration file.
