Configuring SharePoint Integrator Proxy Settings

By default, Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator connects to SharePoint via your computer-configured proxy, giving you a secured working environment. If the proxy requires authentication, you must configure the proxy settings manually, as described below.

Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator can also connect to SharePoint directly, without using a proxy, or use a manually configured proxy server.

To configure proxy settings for Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator, open File > Preferences…, and select the Network Connections category.

Note: In the standalone application, Network Connections is a root category of the Preferences dialog. In the sidebar application, it is located under the SharePoint category.

The following dialog opens:

The Network Connections dialog lets you configure proxy settings for Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator.

Select one of the following options:

  • Windows (Internet Explorer) proxy settings. This is the default option, in which your computer-configured proxy is used.

    Note: You cannot use this option if your organization is using an authenticated proxy. In this case, use the Manual proxy configuration, select the Enable proxy authentication check box, and supply a User Name and Password for the proxy server.
  • Direct connection to the Internet. Select this option to connect to SharePoint directly, without using a proxy.
  • Manual proxy configuration. Select this option if you wish to define the settings for your proxy server manually:
    • HTTP proxy. Use this option to specify the server and port to use when making HTTP connections. If the port field is left empty, the default port 80 is used. If the Use this proxy server for SSL check box is selected, the HTTP proxy server is used for SSL connections as well.
    • SSL proxy. Use this option to specify the server and port to be used when making SSL connections. If the port field is empty, the default port 443 is used.
    • SOCKS proxy. Use this option to specify the server and port to be used when making SOCKS connections. If the port field is empty, the default port 1080 is used.
    • No Proxy for. Use this table to specify which hosts should not use any proxy but instead should always be connected to directly.
    • Enable proxy authentication. Select this option to specify a user name and password to use when connecting to the proxy server.

Note: When upgrading to Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes 2.0, the proxy settings will be reset, and you need to configure them again.
