Proxy Configuration

Problem

The 365 business Print Agent Cloud Service and the 365 business Print Agent Server are designed for secure network environments. By default, they communicate with our cloud servers over HTTPS, which usually means that no additional firewall configuration is required.

However, if your organization mandates that all outbound internet traffic must be routed through a proxy server, you will need to manually configure the proxy settings for each respective service.

Solution

Proxy Configuration for the 365 business Print Agent Cloud Service

1. Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad) in Administrator mode.

2. Create a file named proxy.json in the following directory: %ProgramData%\365 business development GmbH\365 business Print Agent\CloudClient

3. Depending on your scenario, paste one of the following JSON configurations into the file:

   
   

   Proxy with authentication:

   Code
   {
     "Proxy": {
   	"Enabled": true,
   	"Url": "http://hostname:port",
   	"BypassProxyOnLocal": false,
   	"UserCredentials": {
   	  "Username": "user.name",
   	  "Password": "p@ssword"
   	}
     }
   }

   ---

   Proxy without authentication:

   Code
   {
     "Proxy": {
   	"Enabled": true,
   	"Url": "http://hostname:port",
   	"BypassProxyOnLocal": false,
   	"UserCredentials": null
     }
   }

4. Replace the placeholders:

   • Url with the address of your organization's proxy server,
   • Username and Password (if required) with valid credentials.

5. Save the file and restart the 365 business Print Agent Cloud Service to apply the configuration.
