Adding a proxy server connection manually

You may need to add a proxy server connection manually, either when Autodetect is unsuccessful or when some of the servers that you access with M-Business Connect should use proxy settings, while others should not. See Configuring proxy server settings.

To configure a connection to your proxy server from your device
  1. In M-Business Client, tap the Menu silk-screen icon, then select Options » Server Preferences.

    The M-Business Connect screen appears.

  2. Tap the Menu silk-screen icon, then choose Options » Proxy Settings.

    The Proxy Settings dialog appears.

  3. Enter the necessary information in the Proxy Settings dialog.

    Note

    Your system administrator has all the necessary information.

  4. If your proxy server uses the HTTP protocol, enter information in the HTTP Address and Port fields.

  5. To enter a user name and password for the server you entered in the Address field, tap Advanced.

    The Authentication Proxy Settings dialog appears.

  6. Select the Use HTTP authentication box to enable user name and password protection.

  7. Enter your user name and password, then tap OK.

  8. If your proxy server uses a secure protocol, enter information in the Secure Address and Port fields.

  9. Enter exceptions to the HTTP settings in the Exceptions List field. Separate multiple addresses with semicolons.

    Note

    Exceptions are the hostnames of servers that M-Business Connect should access without going through the proxy server.

  10. Tap OK.
