You can set up the Web Navigator to connect to the Internet through a proxy server instead of using an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect directly to the Internet. If you don't specify a proxy, you must use a direct Internet connection to access the Internet.

Before you begin

Make sure that:

• The proxy is set up to connect to the Internet.
• The Web task is running on the server (that is, the Web Navigator program has been started).

1. From the Domino® Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

2. Expand the Server section and click All Server Documents.

3. Open the Server document for the Web Navigator server.

4. Click the Ports -> Proxies tab, complete these fields, and then save the document:

Table 1. Proxies tab fields

Field	Enter
HTTP proxy	The name or IP address of the proxy and the port to access HTTP pages.
FTP proxy	The name or IP address of the proxy and the port to access FTP pages.
Gopher proxy	The name or IP address of the proxy and the port to access Gopher pages.
SSL Security proxy	The name or IP address of the proxy and the port you want to go through for pages on Internet servers that use SSL.
HTTP Tunnel proxy	Do not enter a value. This field is used to send Notes® remote procedure calls (NRPC). NRPC is the architectural layer of Notes and Domino that control services such as replication and mail. The Web Navigator does not use NRPC for communication.
SOCKs proxy	The name or IP address of the proxy and the port. If you enter a name or IP address in both the SSL Security proxy and SOCKs proxy fields, Domino uses the SSL Security proxy. If you enter a name or IP address in both the HTTP proxy and SOCKs proxy fields, Domino uses the SOCKs proxy.
No proxy for these hosts and domains	The names of the hosts and domains you want to access without going through the proxy. You can bypass the proxy to access certain domains on the Internet or to access your internal intranet domain. Do not enter the IP address in this field; you must use the name. Separate multiple entries with commas or returns. You can use wildcard (*) characters, for example, *ibm.com or www.*.com.

Editing the Server document for the Web Navigator

About this task

Make sure that you already set up the connection between the server and the Internet. If necessary, use a proxy server to connect the server to the Internet.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

2. Expand the Server section and click All Server Documents.

3. Open the Server document for the Web Navigator server.

4. Click the Basics tab.

5. Open the Server Location Information section and go to the Servers section. For the InterNotes server field, enter the hierarchical name of the server running the Web task. This is the default server to use if the InterNotes server field in the user's Location document is blank.

6. Save and close the document.
