Proxy Configuration
Proxy Services are specialized application programs. These programs accept users’
requests from LAN clients for Internet services like HTTP. On behalf of LAN clients, proxy
services also set up connections to WAN servers. A proxy server authenticates against the
user database (Access Control). The proxy server filters a request against the Access
Control List (ACL). Then the server forwards the request to actual services. Proxy Servers
are application specific. Each application needs its own proxy server.
To save and install proxy configuration data…
1. Click the radio button beside the HTTP proxy that you want to enable. (The illustration
above doesn’t show proxy radio buttons.)
2. Click Enable beside HTTP Proxy.
3. Click Authentication. Clicking this box authenticates the user during the HTTP
Proxy.
4. Click Apply.
