A proxy server handles client requests for resources. A proxy can return a requested resource from its cache or forward the request to the server where the resource resides. Especially in enterprise environments, proxies can improve network performance by reducing the number of requests sent to remote servers. Proxies can also be used to restrict access to resources.

In a Windows/Internet Explorer environments there is a proxy server configuration in Internet Properties > Connections > LAN settings > Proxy server:

In order for the Windows/Internet Explorer configuration to be used, the BAM Client must be configured to use the default proxy settings. This is done in application configuration files (both LraClient.exe.config and ConfigurationApplication.exe.config) that are located in client root installation folder. In the proxy element of the defaultProxy configuration section in the system.net section group:

<configuration>

  <system.net>

    <defaultProxy enabled="true">

      <proxy usesystemdefault="True"/>

    </defaultProxy>

  </system.net>

</configuration>

You can also use this configuration to set a specific proxy to be used by BAM Client/ConfigApp – in case if Windows/Internet Explorer proxy configuration is absent or needs different settings. The following code example uses the defaults from the Internet Explorer proxy, specifies the proxy address, and bypasses the proxy for local access.

 <configuration>

  <system.net>

    <defaultProxy enabled="true">

      <proxy usesystemdefault="True" proxyaddress =" http://proxy.address.com:3128"  bypassonlocal ="True" />

    </defaultProxy>

  </system.net>

</configuration>
