# Use a Proxy Server to Access the Repository

The 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.
