Sun Java System Instant Messaging 7.2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Configure Proxy Settings for all Instant Messaging Client Connections in im.jnlp

If the proxy you set in im.jnlp differs from that in the user's preferences file (/usr_home/.sunmsgr/messenger.properties), the user's preferences are used.

  1. Open the im.jnlp resource file in a text editor.

  2. Specify the proxy server by adding the following argument:


    <argument>proxy=proxy-host:proxy-port</argument>

    Where proxy-host is the fully-qualified domain name of the proxy server and proxy-port is the port number on which the proxy server listens for incoming requests. For example, myproxy.siroe.com:8080.

  3. Specify the proxy type by adding the following argument:


    <argument>proxy_type=type
    

    Where type can be one of http, https, or socks.
