A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary between an internal user and the Internet. A proxy server is associated with all, or part, of a gateway server that separates the Enterprise Portal network from the outside network, and a firewall server that protects the Enterprise’s network from outside intrusion.
If you use a proxy server, Enterprise Portal routes HTTP requests and responses between clients and the proxy server unless the host name is on a list that can bypass the proxy server.
If you use a proxy server, you must get a proxy user name and password from the proxy server administrator and register them with Portal Interface.
