In an enterprise that uses the Internet, a proxy server acts as an intermediary between you and the Internet so that the enterprise is kept secure. To you, the proxy server is invisible; all Internet requests and returned responses appear to be directly with the Internet server you are querying. However, the proxy is not quite invisible; its IP address must be specified as a configuration in the browser or, in this case, when logging in to the iFolder server.
If you need to connect to a proxy server, right-click the iFolder icon, click Login > Set Proxy, specify the IP address or DNS name and the port of your proxy server, then click OK. If you do not know this information, ask your iFolder or network administrator.
If you connect to your iFolder server through a proxy server, a third dialog box will open to get your proxy user ID and password. If you do not know this information, ask your system administrator.
