Connecting via proxy
If your application is connecting to the Insights Platform via a proxy server, your
gateway string needs to be modified to include the proxy server's address
(MYCORPORATEPROXYADDRESS
)
Depending on your proxy server's configuration, you may also need to include:
- user name (
PROXY_USERNAME
) - password (
PROXY_PASSWORD
) - port (
PORT
)
[]
).
[https://PROXY_USERNAME:PROXY_PASSWORD@
MYCORPORATEPROXYADDRESS:PORT]https://www2.1010data.com/cgi-bin/gw
If you're unsure of whether or not you need to specify a proxy server, or you need your proxy server credentials, contact your corporate technology support team or IT department.
Note: This example does not use square brackets (
[]
) to denote variables.Examples
Some proxy servers will require a full set of credentials, for
example:
[https://aHamilton:g3n3ricPWD@my.corporate.proxy:8080]https://www2.1010data.com/cgi-bin/gw
A proxy server may only require a user name, for example:
[https://hGranger@my.corporate.proxy:8080]https://www2.1010data.com/cgi-bin/gw
A proxy server may not require any credentials or a port number, for example:
[https://my.corporate.proxy]https://www2.1010data.com/cgi-bin/gw
