# File Server (Web-enabled)

## Web Proxy Configuration

The JNI of the 64bit JVM does not work with 32bit librarys and the FIleServer client library cannot be loaded.The 32bit JVM is the only supported JVM on AIX.

### Configuration parameter

PLM-FMS-PROXY (ON/OFF)

The web proxy supports a main switch to activate or deactivate the proxy mechanism. The main switch is accessible via the Configuration mask (System > Other Parameters).

The default of this configuration parameter is “OFF”, so you have to insert this configuration parameter to activate the proxy mechanism.

### Define a Web Proxy Service

In the case of a high-end security environment the Web File Service on the external Web Server works as a proxy to the internal Web File Service. The definition of a Web Proxy needs two steps.

1. Define a default proxy for a site or a specialized proxy for a vault for the site
2. Set the site information in the configuration file of the Web Client

### Define a default proxy

You can define a set of default proxy entries for several sites, by adding the information of the external Web Server with the path to the (Proxy) Web File Service.

1. Select Manager > File Management > Default Web Proxy
2. Enter appropriate data

Field name | Description
Site | Site of Web Client
Protocol | Protocol for the Web FileService (e.g. http)
Web Host | Host name where the Web File Service runs
Web Port | Port number of the Web FileService
Web Path | Servlet Path on the Web Server (Default: /FileService)

Proxy definition for a vault

Additional you can define a set of proxy entries for several sites, by adding the information of the external Web Server with the path to the (Proxy) Web File Service. If a vault has no proxy information the default proxy information is used.

### Site information of the Web Client

Each external Web Client should have a unique site information, so that the PLM Server could decide if a (Proxy) Web File Service is necessary. You can add this information in the webplm.properties file of the Web Client, which is located in the <webclient_root>/config directory.

The following line sets the site “www” for this Web Cient:

axalant.env.EP_PROXY_SITE=www
