Setting the Proxy Server Preferences - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To set your proxy server preferences:

1. On the PRO tab, click Options, and Web Services to open the Web Services Preferences dialog box.
2. On the Proxy tab, set your preferences for the server:
   • Use System Settings - Click to use the LAN settings in the system registry. This is the default preference.

     You can review the current LAN settings in the Control Panel. On the Start menu, click Control Panel and type Internet Options in the Search box. In the search results, click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.

   • Use Direct Connection - Click to override the system LAN settings and try to connect directly to the Internet (not through a proxy server).
   • Use Proxy Server - Click to set and use the proxy server settings to connect to the Internet. Ask your system administrator for the settings to use.

     If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, the proxy server may require authentication in the form of a user name and password. Your system administrator should tell you what these are. If a user name and password are required, you are prompted for them via a dialog when MapInfo Pro attempts to connect to the Internet, such as when drawing a tile server layer. Within a session you only need to specify the username and password once.

   • Settings - Click to set the proxy server options. See Setting the Custom Proxy Server Preferences for instructions on completing these settings.
3. Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
