Sometimes a company uses a Proxy Server to validate Internet usage on the company network. If this is the case, you will need to tell RMS some key information about the Proxy Server so that it can successfully gather information from the Internet.
You can get the necessary Proxy Server information from your IT department, or you can get it yourself. To get this information yourself, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Open Internet Explorer.Click on the Tools | Internet Options menu.
2. Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings command button.
3. If your company uses a Proxy Server, the check box labeled Use a proxy server will be checked.
4. Record the values that are listed in the tex boxes labeled Address and Port. If these boxes are gray with no values, then click the Advanced command button and record the Address and Port values for the Secure server type. Record your Proxy Server username and password (this information is probably not stored anywhere on your computer, so if you don't know or remember it, ask your IT department).
ProxyAddressPort
This is the IP (internet protocol) address of the proxy server and the port it is accessed through. When you enter the Proxy Server Address, immediately after that, type a colon ":", and then type the Port value in the Value text box. For example, if your Proxy Server Address is "Internet" and the Port is "80", then type "Internet:80".
