Proxy server question

I have a two questions about Proxy server support.  The first question has to do with the difference between Domain and Host.  According to the instructions at https://support.soraco.co/hc/en-us/articles/200705005-How-to-connect-to-the-QLM-License-Server-via-a-proxy-server- I need to prompt for domain, username, password, host and port.

If I run the sample license wizard, and click the Proxy Settings button, there are two sections enabled by checkboxes.  The top section prompts for username, password and domain, the bottom prompts for host and port number.

I'm not clear on the difference between Host and Domain. In the License Wizard, it seems that fields identify a proxy server.

In the IQLMLicense interface, is ProxyDomain set only when username/password are set, and ProxyHost set only if user enters a port number?

My second question is if I'm writing code to send proxy server information, does QLM use any proxy server configured in Internet Explorer by default?  Or do I need to look for this information in my code?

My experience with proxy servers is pretty limited, so I may be missing something ... thanks!

  Hi Jim

   

  There are 2 components required to connect via a Proxy Server:

   

  1. The host/port where the proxy server is located

  2. The credentials required to connect to the proxy server

   

  1. By default, QLM will detect the host/port that are configured in Internet Explorer. If you want to override these settings, you must set the ProxyHost/ProxyPort properties.

   

  2. The credentials required to connect to the Proxy Server are: User/Domain/Password. The domain here is typically the Active Directory Domain that the user belongs to.

   

  Hope this helps.

  John
