# HTTP Client Parameters

When you configure retrieval of group information from Azure Active Directory, 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]
    0=AzureAD

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

    GroupServerLibrary=ogs_azure
    ImportExternalUsers=FALSE
    UseSystemProxy=true
    SSLMethod=negotiate

NOTE: When configuring authentication, do not set more than one of the following combinations.

- `BasicUsername` and `BasicPassword`
- `DigestUsername` and `DigestPassword`
- `NTLMUsername` and `NTLMPassword`

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.

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.
NoProxyHosts | String |  | A comma-separated list of host names or IP addresses for which the proxy server is ignored.
NTLMPassword | String |  | The password to use to access resources protected by NTLM authentication.
NTLMUsername | String |  | The username to use to access resources protected by NTLM authentication.
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.

UseSpnego | Boolean | False | Specifies whether to use the SPNEGO protocol to decide which type of authentication to use.
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`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY`. You can set this parameter instead of setting `ProxyHost`, `ProxyPort`, `ProxyUsername`, `ProxyPassword`, and `NoProxyHosts`.
