4.3.5 Proxy Server
This feature can be used for clients whose computers are with proxy server enabled configuration. The system
supports external proxy servers and will match the proxy settings of External Proxy Servers listed here to that of
clients in their browsers when they are trying to access the Internet. If there is no match, clients will not be able to
get User Login Page, and therefore, be unable to access the Internet. If there is a match, clients will be directed to
User Login Page for authentication. After a successful authentication, clients will be redirected back to the desired
proxy servers.
Ÿ External Proxy Servers: The system will match the proxy setting of External Proxy Servers listed here to
that of clients to see if there is a match found in their browsers. If there is no match, clients will not be able to
get User Login Page, and therefore, be unable to access the Internet. If there is a match, clients will be directed
to User Login Page for authentication.
Ÿ Redirect Outgoing Proxy Traffic To Built-in Proxy Server: The system has a built-in proxy server. If this
function is enabled, clients will be forced to use the built-in proxy server regardless of clients’ original proxy
settings after being successfully authenticated, and then all traffic will be redirected through the built-in proxy
server.
For more information on setting up the proxy servers, please refer to Appendix E – Proxy Setting.
