Proxies

The Gateway uses proxies that are specified in its profile to retrieve contents from various web servers within the intranet and extranet. You can dedicate proxies for hosts and DNS subdomains and domains. Depending on the proxy configuration, the Gateway uses the appropriate proxy to fetch the required contents. If the proxy requires authentication, the proxy name is stored as part of the gateway profile, that the Gateway uses automatically, when connecting to the proxy.
