Network Proxy

Select Tools > FME Options and click the Network Proxy icon.

Your organization may require you to use a proxy before you can use FME. Proxies are often part of corporate firewalls.

Proxy Options

  • No proxy: Choose this if you don't want to use a proxy. This is the default setting.
  • Use system proxy settings: Choose this if you want to use the proxy settings configured for your operating system (Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings).
  • Proxy server requires authentication: If your proxy server requires login access, can enter it here. (Ask your system administrator for configuration information).

Custom Proxy Map

You can map access to specific URLs through an alternative proxy on your system. Use a custom proxy map if you need to bypass your network's default rules or system proxy settings in order to access these URLs.

To map access to a URL through a custom proxy

  1. Click the Add button (+). The Add Custom Proxy Dialog opens.
    • Source URL: Enter the URL you want to access. The URL must be an exact match with the URL in the workspace request; for example, http://www.lib.uwaterloo.ca/locations/umd/digitization_project/Roads_NTDB.zip.
    • URL: Enter the URL of the proxy server on your system that will handle requests to the Source URL.
    • Port: Enter the port number on the proxy server through which requests are handled.
    • Proxy server requires authentication: If the proxy server requires authentication to access, enter the required credentials, including Username, Password, and Authentication Method (Basic, Digest, or NTLM).
  2. Click OK.

To remove a custom proxy map, select it and click the Remove button (-).

To edit a custom proxy map, select it and click Edit.
