# HTTP Client Parameters

When you configure retrieval of group information from OTDS, you might need to configure a proxy server and SSL settings. You can set any of the standard HTTP Client configuration parameters in the repository section, for example:

    [Repositories]
    Number=1
    0=OTDS

    [OTDS] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]
    // OAuth parameters imported from file generated by OAuth tool

    GroupServerLibrary=ogs_otds
    OTDSRestApiUrl=https://otds.example.com/otdsws/rest/
    UseSystemProxy=true
    SSLMethod=negotiate

TIP: You can encrypt user names and passwords before entering them into your configuration file. For information about how to encrypt parameter values, refer to the Getting Started Guide.

Parameter | Type | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
AcceptCompressedEncodings | Boolean | True | Specifies whether to accept compressed responses to HTTP requests (by setting the header `Accept-Encoding`).
HTTPConnectTimeout | Time Duration | 60s | The maximum amount of time to wait for the server to respond when establishing a connection.
HTTPReadTimeout | Time Duration | 60s | The maximum amount of time to wait to receive data.
ProxyHost | String |  | The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use.
ProxyPassword | String |  | The password to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
ProxyPort | Integer |  | The port of the proxy server to use.
ProxyUsername | String |  | The user name to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
SSLConfig | String | The current section | The name of a section in the configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use.
UserAgent | String |  | The value to use for the user-agent in the header of requests.
UseSystemProxy | Boolean | False | A Boolean value that specifies whether to obtain details about your HTTP proxy from the system. On Windows, OmniGroupServer reads the proxy settings configured through Internet Explorer or the Windows Control Panel. On Linux, OmniGroupServer reads the proxy settings from environment variables such as `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY`. You can set this parameter instead of setting `ProxyHost`, `ProxyPort`, `ProxyUsername`, and `ProxyPassword`.
