1. Select > . The Preferences Configuration window displays.
2. In the tree pane under PTC RV&S Client, open the Servers folder, and select the Proxies node. The Proxies pane displays.
3. Configure the available options:
 |
The names direct and default in any case, or combination of cases, cannot be used as proxy host names.
Spaces and commas are invalid characters in the Host Name field.
Host names and port numbers must match to connect to a proxy successfully. If you provide an incorrect port number, PTC RV&S does not search for the correct one.
|
a. Select Use same username and password for proxy and server if you want the same user name and password to be used when connecting to both the proxy and server.
Selecting this option does not necessarily ensure that PTC RV&S prompts you only once for your user name and password. If the authentication schemes used do not match, PTC RV&S prompts you for your user name and password again.
b. Select Always confirm proxy username and password if you want PTC RV&S to prompt you for the user name and password each time you connect to the proxy.
c. Select Reuse current proxy username and password for all connections if you want to use the same proxy user name and password when connecting to multiple remote servers.
d. Select Use default proxy for all unlisted connections if you want to specify the proxy server as the default server for unlisted connections. This option is only enabled when you complete the details for a default proxy described next.
e. To specify a default proxy, under Default proxy complete the following:
▪ In the Host Name field, type the name of the server, or the numerical IP address.
▪ In the Port field, type the port number. If you do not specify a port number, or use 0 as the port number, PTC RV&S assumes a direct connection.
f. To configure multiple servers to connect to, under Server do the following:
▪ Click Add to display the Add new server connection dialog box.
▪ In the Host Name field type the name of the server or the numerical IP address.
▪ In the Port field, type the port number.
g. Select the type of connection you want.
▪ Direct connection specifies connecting without a proxy.
▪ Use default proxy specifies connecting using the proxy specified as the default on the Proxy panel.
▪ To specify a different proxy, select Proxy and complete the Host Name and Port fields.
h. Click OK to save the server details and return to the Proxy panel. The server displays in the Server list with the connection details that you selected displayed below it. You can review the server details for each server you configure by selecting it from the list.

To edit a previously configured server, select it from the Server list, and click Edit. Edit the server details as required, and click OK to save your changes.
To delete a previously configured server, select it from the Server list, and click Delete. The server name is removed from the Server list.
