Configuring proxy server settings in the command line

July 22, 2024

ID 197278

You can enable or disable the use of a proxy server by application components in the command line with the help of the UseProxy and ProxyServer settings in the general application settings.

You can edit the setting using command line options or a configuration file that contains all general application settings.

The UseProxy setting can take the following values:

  • Yes - enable the use of a proxy server.
  • No: disable the proxy server.

The ProxyServer setting lets you define proxy server settings in the format: [<user >[:<password >]@]<proxy server address>[:<port>], where:

  • <user> is a user name for proxy server authentication.
  • <password> is a user password for proxy server authentication.
  • <proxy server address> is the proxy server IP address or domain name.
  • <port> is the proxy server port.

If no authentication is required for connecting to the proxy server, you do not need to define ProxyServer.

When connecting via an HTTP proxy, we recommend to use a separate account that is not used to sign in to other systems. An HTTP proxy uses an insecure connection, and the account may be compromised.
