Proxies are used to secure the connection through a cloud or an internet source to the server. This allows the server to access and exchange data without having the IP address of the client known. A single proxy could server multiple clients and determine who, when and how data is transferred.
This document outlines the steps on how to enter a username and password for a proxy.
Step 1: Find the proper settings
Proxies can be configured using various types of settings. The settings could vary depending on type of proxy and the server that's being used. To find the proper settings, you can either contact the network administrator or search for them online.
Step 2: Add the settings to the proxy
Once you've found the settings for the specific server and proxy, you must update the settings with the new ones. Depending on the proxy, this might involve downloading a separate application or navigating through the settings for the existing application.
Step 3: Enter the username and password
Once the settings are properly configured, you will be required to enter the username and password associated specifically with the proxy. The username and password should be securely stored by the proxy, so they can be used again in the future.
Step 4: Verify changes
Once the username and password are entered correctly, the changes should be verified and tested. This could involve running simulations or sending test data through the proxy.
