Enabling Proxy Authentication
If your work environment is behind a firewall and you need to configure proxy authentication to connect to Salesforce, you must complete the following.
X-Author Contracts proxy settings leverage Microsoft's LAN Settings to resolve proxy server settings automatically, each time you connect to X-Author Contracts. While this makes handling the majority of X-Author Contracts connections easier, you can still manually configure settings from the X-Author Contracts Options dialog box.
Selecting Use system proxy tells X-Author to use Microsoft's LAN Settings for resolving proxy connections. X-Author Contracts uses whichever Internet Explorer LAN option is configured, such as Use automatic configuration script or Proxy server settings.
Prerequisites
- You must be logged in X-Author Contracts.
