Where the Ideagen Quality Management Server is installed behind a proxy server, there are additional steps you most complete for the system to work.
This article walks you through the additional configuration instructions.
1. Configuring the client
To configure the client:
- Navigate to the Quality Management installation directory.
- Open Q-Pulse.exe.config.
- Specify the URI of your proxy server in the ProxyServerURI entry:
<add key="ProxyServerURI" value="<URI of PROXY SERVER>:<PORT>" />
- Set HttpUseGlobalProxy to true by adding the following entry to the <channel> element:
HttpUseGlobalProxy ="true"
Example
<channel type="Belikov.GenuineChannels.GenuineHttp.GenuineHttpClientChannel, GenuineChannels" ConnectTimeout="10000" InvocationTimeout="45000" HttpUseGlobalProxy="false" Compression="true" HttpUseGlobalProxy ="true" >
You may specify a method of authentication at this point. If this is not specified, the user will be prompted to enter a username and password to authenticate with the proxy server before being allowed to sign in to the system.
2. Configuring authentication options
To enable authentication using the logged in user's current credentials, create the following entry:
<add key="ProxyServerUseLoggedOnCredentials" value="true" />
To enable authentication for all users using a predefined username and password, create the following entries:
<add key="ProxyServerUsername" value="<USERNAME>" />
<add key="ProxyServerPassword" value="<PASSWORD>" />
