Use proxy servers

If the code you are running on a server requires access to a proxy server for internet access, you can add the proxy server settings to the server.

1. In the Servers view, double-click your WebSphere Application Server v5.x to open the server editor.

2. Click the Environment tab.

3. Expand the Java VM Settings section.

4. Under the System Properties table, select the Add button to add the following properties:

5. Name	Value
   proxySet	true
   proxyHost	proxy_server
   proxyPort	proxy_port

   where proxy_server and proxy_port are the server and port settings for your proxy server.

If you are using a proxy or socks server in Internet Explorer, it should be disabled for local addresses. Otherwise, this may cause problems when trying to view the Universal Test Client or any other Web applications when using either the internal Web browser or your installed version of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
