Proxy Servers

Use the Proxy Servers tab to specify the number of proxy servers that can be used by Design Studio.

The following table describes options on the "Proxy servers" tab.

Option

Description

Use Proxy Server

When selected, the use of a Proxy Server is enabled.

Host

The host name of the proxy server, which can be an IP address, or the fully qualified domain name, such as myproxy.kofax.com.

Port Number

The port number on the proxy server. Leave this blank to use the default proxy server port 8080.

User Name

The user name to use if the proxy server requires a login.

Password

The password to use if the proxy server requires a login.

Excluded Hosts

Here, you can specify a list of host names that the proxy server should not be used for. Specify one host name per line. Each host name can be an IP address or a fully qualified domain name, such as www.kofax.com.

Use the Import button under the proxy server list to import a list of proxy servers. The file may hold an arbitrary number of proxy server definitions, each of which must comply with the following format: 

proxyName.proxyServerUse = true
                    proxyName.proxyServerHost = host name or IP address
                    proxyName.proxyServerPort = port number
                    proxyName.proxyServerUserName = user name
                    proxyName.proxyServerPassword = password
                    proxyName.proxyServerExcludedHostNames = list of hosts

Where proxyName is a name to identify a particular proxy server. Each proxy server must have its own unique proxyName.

When multiple proxy servers are specified, a new proxy server is selected every time a robot is run.

You can also specify a proxy server for an individual robot. This is done when you configure the robot in the Robot Configuration window in Design Studio. Such a proxy server overrides the proxy servers specified here. See Configuring Robots for more information. Furthermore, the proxy server is changed during robot execution with the Change Proxy action.

See Use Proxy Services for more details.
