To route HTTP requests from a Web browser to the proxy server, you must configure a Web browser. Enterprise Portal currently supports Internet Explorer and Netscape Web browsers.
Configuring an Internet Explorer Web browser
Open Internet Explorer, and from the browser menu, select Tools | Internet Options.
In the Internet Options dialog box, select the Connections tab, and click LAN Settings.
In the Local Area Network Settings dialog box:
Select Use a Proxy Server for your LAN.
In the Address field, enter the IP address of the proxy server.
In the Port field, enter the port number on which the proxy server listens for HTTP requests.
Select Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses.
Click Advanced. The Proxy Settings dialog box displays.
In the Exceptions list, enter the host names or IP addresses that can bypass the proxy server; separate entries with a semicolon. Include the EP host name in the list.
Click OK to save your changes.
Configuring a Netscape Web browser
Open a Netscape window, and from the browser menu, select Edit | Preferences.
In the Preferences, expand the Advanced folder, and select Proxies.
In the Proxies property sheet:
Select Manual Proxy Configuration.
In the HTTP Proxy field, enter the IP address of the proxy server.
In the corresponding Port field, enter the port number on which the proxy server listens for HTTP requests.
In the No Proxy For field, enter the domain names that can bypass the proxy server; for example, enter “.sybase.com” to exclude clients in the Sybase domain from using the proxy server. Separate entries with a comma.
Click OK to save your changes.
