ProxyConfiguration
The proxy configuration allows setting a customized proxy address which will be used by the TSE data reporting tool to open internet connections. Note that by default the tool does not use any proxy, therefore if a proxy is present in your network, you will receive a connection error, even if your machine is correctly connected to the internet. In this case the proxy configuration is needed.
Once the proxy is configured, the application can be launched (see Installation, Launching the application Section).
The proxy host name and port can be set in the EFSA-TSE-data-submission-tool-installer-win-64\config\proxyConfig.xml file, which is contained in the directory where the application was installed (EFSA-TSE-data-submission-tool-installer-win-32\config\proxyConfig.xml for 32-bit versions). This file contains the 3 entries in .xml format:
- set the Proxy.Mode property to MANUAL
- put inside the Proxy.HostName property the host name or the IP address of your proxy
- put inside the Proxy.Port property the port which is listened by your proxy (in most of the cases this is 8080)
The final configuration should appear as following:
<entry key="Proxy.Mode">MANUAL</entry>
<entry key="Proxy.HostName">your.proxy.hostname</entry>
<entry key="Proxy.Port">yourport</entry>
It is also possible to set the Proxy.Mode property to AUTO. In this case, other settings will be ignored and the tool will try to identify proxy settings automatically.
If the Proxy.Mode property is set to NO_PROXY then the tool will not use any proxy. This is the default setting, but if you reached this page of the help, you probably have some connection issues.
It is necessary to configure the proxy the first time, by modifying the .xml file, in order to launch the tool correctly. However, once the application is launched, it is possible to configure the proxy also in the user interface. In particular, the proxy configuration can be accessed in the main menu by clicking the proxy configuration button, as shown in the following image:
This will open another window which allows editing the proxy settings.
This reflects the logic explained in the previous sections. For example, it is possible to set the proxy to manual setting in order to manually put the address and port of the proxy.
Once the configuration is completed, press first Test connection to check if the application can connect or not and then Save to save the configuration.
