Editing proxy server options

The Surround SCM proxy server is a file caching proxy that improves performance of file retrievals at remote client sites across distributed development environments. To learn more, see Proxy servers.

If you add a proxy server or install the proxy server on a local computer, you may need to update the server options, such as the connection password, Surround SCM Server connection information, and log and cache directories.

1. In the registry utility, click Proxy Options. You can also choose Edit > Proxy Options.

The Surround SCM Proxy Server Options dialog box opens.

2. Make any changes to the server information.

Field	Description
Proxy name	Surround SCM proxy server name.
Proxy connection password	Proxy server connection password. This password must match the master Surround SCM server value.
Password confirm	Proxy connection password confirmation.
Master server address	Master server address the proxy server connects to. If RSA key exchange is enabled on the Surround SCM Server, download the server settings file and then import it instead of manually entering the server address and port. See Editing Surround SCM Server options. Click Import, select the XML file and, click Open. The Server address, Server port, and Public key fingerprint fields are automatically populated.
Master server port	Master server port number. The default port is 4900. Valid values are 1-65535.
Public key fingerprint	Read-only public key fingerprint that provides additional security required to connect to the Surround SCM Server. Automatically populated when you import a server settings file.
Application directory	Directory where the proxy server application is stored. Click to select a directory.
Log directory	Directory where the proxy server writes the SCMProxyStartup.log file, which contains any error messages that occur when the proxy server application starts. The default directory is the Surround SCM application directory. Click to select a different directory.
Proxy cache directory	Directory where cached files are stored on the proxy server. The default directory is the SCMProxyCache directory in the proxy server application directory. Click to select a different directory. To avoid retrieving previously cached files after changing the cache location, move the contents of the SCMProxyCache directory to the new directory.

3. Click Validate Options to validate the information. If validation fails, check the following:

• Make sure the master server is running.
• Make sure you entered the correct master server address and port number.
• In the Surround SCM Client, make sure the proxy server is listed in the Proxy Server Maintenance dialog box and the proxy name and password match the values in the registry utility. See Editing proxy server settings.

4. Click OK to save the changes.
