# Configure View to Use a Proxy Server

To allow the View service to access HTTP documents using a proxy server, you must configure the details for the proxy server in the IDOL Server configuration file.

To configure a proxy server for the View service

1. Open the IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[Viewing]` section.

3. Set `ProxyHost` to the IP address or host name of your proxy server. For example:

       ProxyHost=proxy.example.com

4. Set `ProxyPort` to the port that View must use to communicate with the proxy server. For example:

       ProxyPort=8080

5. If the proxy server requires NTLM authentication, set `NTLMProxy` to `True`. For example:

       NTLMProxy=True

6. If the proxy server requires a user name and password, set `ProxyLogin` and `ProxyPassword`. For example:

       ProxyLogin=idolview
       ProxyPassword=9szJwMkD28A

7. If you set `NTLMProxy` to `True`, you must set `ProxyLogin` to a fully qualified NTLM login. For example:

       ProxyLogin=mydomain\\myusername

8. Set `NoProxyHostsCSVs` to a comma-separated list of host names for which the View service does not use the Proxy server. You can use Wildcard values. For example:

       NoProxyHostsCSVs=localhost,*.companyname.com

9. Save and close the configuration file. Restart IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.
