Editing proxy server settings

You can edit proxy server settings if the server location changes or you need to modify the configuration options.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Proxy Maintenance.

The Proxy Server Maintenance dialog box opens.

2. Select a proxy server and click Edit.

The Edit Proxy Server dialog box opens.

3. Make any changes. For information about proxy server options, see Adding proxy servers.

4. Enter the proxy server password in the Confirm password field.

You must confirm the password before you can save the changes.

5. Click OK to save the changes.

The changes are sent to the proxy server based on the refresh interval value. To immediately send changes to the proxy server, you must restart the proxy server on the computer where it is installed or use a remote management utility to restart it. After the proxy server restarts, it retrieves the new settings and refreshes the cache.

If you change the proxy server name or password, you must also update the proxy server registry settings using the registry utility. To learn more, see Editing indexing server options.
