The Content Station 10 Desktop app communicates with other applications, including Enterprise Server. When the connection to Enterprise Server is done through a proxy server, configuration steps may need to be performed.
Requirements
Connecting to a proxy server requires Content Station 10.16 or higher, running in Google Chrome, and using the Content Station Desktop app. It is assumed here that it is fully installed and running. For details, see Using the Desktop app of Content Station 10.
Configuration
The configuration steps to perform depend on the version of the Desktop app that is used.
- Configuration for Content Station 10.28 or higher
- Configuration for Content Station versions 10.16 to 10.27
Configuration for Content Station 10.28 or higher
