Bypassing the Proxy Server for Local Addresses

This task is part of Siebel Client Deployment Requirements When Using Firewalls or Proxy Servers.

If your LAN uses a proxy server, then adjust your browser settings to bypass the proxy server for local (internal) addresses. This setting provides better performance for Siebel employee applications deployed on the LAN, and is required for the Siebel Mobile Web Client.

Follow instructions for your browser for this purpose. For example, for Microsoft Internet Explorer, you check the options Use a Proxy Server for Your LAN and Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses. For Siebel Web Clients, you also specify the proxy server address and port number.

Note: For customer applications, this setting does not apply. The proxy server setting applies only on a LAN.
