Using a Proxy Server to Establish the Connection

To make the communication between the REST Agent and the REST Web Service possible, you need Connection objects. If the REST Web Service that the REST Agent connects to is behind a proxy server, you must specify the proxy parameters necessary for the connection in the Connection object.

  • Server Type

    • Allows you to select HTTP or SOCKS as server type or to leave the default of None to not use a proxy server.

  • Host

    • Host name or IP address of the host where the proxy server resides.

  • Port

    • Port used by the proxy server.

  • User Name

    • User name used to authenticate on the proxy server.

  • Password

    • Password of the user used to authenticate on the proxy server (if required).

  • Realm

    • The realm is the account location, which is similar to a domain. The realm is only required if the endpoint differs from the authentication host. Also, this field is optional if you have specified a host.

  • Authentication

    • If you have selected Server Type: HTTP, this field allows you to select None, Basic, Digest or NTLM, as the authentication.
