You can configure MapInfo Pro for proxy server use. By default, MapInfo Pro uses your system LAN settings as the default proxy server settings. To set the Web Services Preferences to use a different proxy server, you must know the IP address and port number of the alternate proxy server to properly complete these entries.
To set up your web service preferences to use a different proxy server than those provided in your system LAN settings:
-
On the PRO tab, click Options, and Web Services to open the Web Services Preferences dialog box.
-
On the Proxy tab, choose Use Proxy Server and click Settings.
The Web Services Proxy Settings dialog box opens. Use these options to configure the proxy server for your internet and intranet use.
-
Enter the IP address of your computer and the port number in the fields provided. If you do not know this information, check the IP Config settings or consult your system administrator.
-
To access local addresses without going through the proxy server, select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box.
-
To exclude some non-local IP addresses from the proxy server, enter the IP addresses in the text area provided, using a semicolon to separate the addresses.
-
Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
As a result of these settings, you are prompted for a user name and password when you are attempting to access the Internet to use the Web Map Service or the Web Feature Service features.
