Connecting Content Station 10 to Enterprise Server through a proxy server

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

The version of the Desktop app that is provided with Content Station 10.28 or higher uses the proxy settings that are configured in the operating system on which the Desktop app is installed.

As a result, no configuration steps are needed in the Desktop app itself and no proxy settings are available in the Desktop app.

On Windows, make sure that the following option is enabled:

• Internet properties > Connections > LAN Settings > Proxy server > Bypass proxy server for local addresses
