Parameter: requestviaproxy

Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

requestviaproxy

Description

This parameter specifies if the Service Manager Windows client is allowed to connect to the server through a proxy. Enable this parameter only if, for security reasons, your production environment requires each Windows client to connect to the server through a proxy. This functionality works as described in the following:

  • When requestviaproxy is enabled, the Windows client can connect to the server either with or without a proxy.
  • When requestviaproxy is disabled, the Windows client can connect to the server successfully only if the client is not behind a proxy. An error message pops up when the Windows client is attempting to connect to the server through a proxy.
