SUMMARY:
The Progress WebClient supports parameters that enable the WebClient
application to connect to the AppServer through the proxy server.
Those parameters, -proxyhost and -proxyport, are usually set with the Progress WebClient Application Manager. If the WebClient application is deployed in the intranet environment, it is sometimes necessary to specify the same proxy settings for every user that is going to use the application.
EXPLANATION:
In the intranet environment, it's expected that every user will
have the same proxy settings since they all belong to the same
organization. Therefore, it would be good to have the WebClient
install procedure set these parameters for users, rather than each
one of them adding these settings in the Progress WebClient
Application Manager.
SOLUTION:
In your WebClient Application Assembler, specify the -proxyhost and
-proxyport in the 'Startup Parameters' or in the parameter file that
is going to be included in the 'AtStartup' component. These parameters will be used immediately after the application install. They can be still overridden with the WebClient Application Manager if necessary.
