The Proxy Settings section displays proxy settings configurable through the LCD interface on the appliance for primary and secondary proxy servers, if applicable.
The scanner appliance uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol (HTTPS) to secure its connection to the web application, in a similar way that a web browser does to a secure web server. If the connection must pass through a proxy server, then you must enable the proxy option on the scanner appliance.
The proxy configuration re-directs outbound connections through the proxy server. Authentication (basic or NTLM) of the Scanner Appliance connection to your proxy server can be enabled by configuring the proxy user and proxy password entries.
Your proxy server must be configured to tunnel or pass through the SSL session to the web application. This ensures a secured end-to-end connection. SSL bridging or tunnel termination must not be configured in your proxy server when supporting the scanner appliance.
