VSDM :: Post Installation Steps

  • [アーティクル]

Configuring your server proxy settings

VSDM requires internet access to be able to retrieve information about new releases. If you wish to disable this feature, please see the "Enabling/disabling new version check reminders" topic.

The proxy settings are controlled by the <Proxy> section in vsdm_config.xml file (located in the config folder). Please open this file and change the setting, using one of the approaches below:

If you do not have a proxy server

     <Proxy enabled="false" />

If you have a proxy server but do not require authentication

     <Proxy enabled="true">
<URL>https://your_proxy_address:80</URL>
</Proxy>

If you do have a proxy server and require authentication

     <Proxy enabled="true">
<URL>https://your_proxy_address:80</URL>
<User>proxyuser</User>
<Password>proxypass</Password>
</Proxy>

Note about password security: The proxypass password specified in the <Password> field will not be visible by regular VSDM users. But be aware that the password will be able to be seen to whoever can see the vsdm_config.xml file (usually only VSDM administrators). Please make sure users cannot logon locally to the server if you use password and they shall not see it.

Tip: It is usually more secure to create an exception on your proxy server to allow traffic flow from the VSDM server rather than using the password field. But this depends on the user-by-user scenario, of course.
