Proxies (on-premise only)

The Proxies tab of the Settings view allows managing the proxies of an Account in an on-premise environment.

This chapter describes how to create, configure and administer proxies in NeoLoad Web.

Create a proxy

As the Administrator of an on-premise environment, you can create one or as many proxies as you need in order to create a pool of proxies. From that pool, you will then be able to select a proxy that suits your needs.

Note: When no proxy is available in the Proxies tab, creating one is an easy process with a click on the CREATE A PROXY button. After creating your first proxy, adding one is possible with a click on the ADD A PROXY button .

To create a proxy, follow these steps:

1. In the left navigation panel, click Settings and select the Proxies tab.

2. Click the CREATE A PROXY button.

   

   The Create a new Proxy screen pops up.

3. In the Name field, enter a name, function, location or context information in order to identify the proxy.

4. In the URL field, enter the address (hostname and port) of the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

5. In the Login field, specify the user ID required for identification on the proxy.

6. In the Password field, specify the password required for identification on the proxy.

   Once you click Apply, the new proxy is added to the proxies list in chronological order.

   

Edit a proxy

As the Administrator of an on-premise environment, you can modify all details of a proxy.

To edit a proxy's details, follow these steps:

1. In the left navigation panel, click Settings and select the Proxies tab.

   All proxies of your Account are listed in the central panel, along with their names and URLs.

2. In the Proxies list, locate the proxy you want to edit and click the Edit button on the right of the row.

   

3. In the Edit a proxy dialog, modify the fields you need and click the Apply button to validate your change.

   The proxy is modified.

Delete a proxy

As the Administrator of an on-premise environment, you can permanently delete proxies created in an Account with NeoLoad Web.

Caution: Deleting a proxy cannot be undone.

Note: It is not possible to delete a proxy that is selected for use by the licensing platform. You need to unselect it first in the General tab. See Set a proxy on the licensing platform for more information.

To delete a proxy, follow these steps:

1. In the left navigation panel, click Settings and select the Proxies tab.

   All proxies of your Account are listed in the central panel, along with their names and URLs.

2. In the Proxies list, locate the proxy you want to delete and click the Delete button on the right of the row.

   

3. In the Deleting Proxy dialog, click the Delete button to delete the proxy.

   The proxy is deleted.

Set a proxy on the licensing platform

As the Administrator of an on-premise environment, you can specify the proxy that will be used to connect to the licensing platform.

To set a proxy to connect to the licensing platform, follow these steps:

1. In the left navigation panel, click Settings and stay on the General tab.

   In the Licensing platform section, the proxies created in the Proxies tab (see Create a proxy) are listed in the Available proxies drop-down menu.

2. Click on a proxy to select it.

   

3. When you refresh the page, you can view the proxy selected to be used to connect to the licensing platform.

Tip: To connect to the licensing platform without going through a proxy, select the option "Do not use a proxy" in the drop-down menu.
