Proxy Authentication

This article is a resource where you learn about working behind a proxy that requires authentication.

This article is only relevant if you are running WikiTraccs behind a proxy and the proxy requires authentication.

Note: Proxy authentication is available as of WikiTraccs v1.31.10.

You’ll see that your proxy requires authentication when you see an error like this when running the Confluence connection check:

HTTP Status code 407 translates to Proxy Authentication Required

Configuring Proxy Authentication

WikiTraccs allows you to configure proxy authentication.

In the main menu of the blue WikiTraccs window, click Settings ⇒ Configure Transformation to open the Settings dialog.

In the Settings dialog, click the Proxy tab.

Choose the proxy authentication option that is right for your proxy:

None: No authentication required
Default credentials: Authenticates using your current Windows login
Credentials: Set user name and password, as well as an optional domain
- note: the password is stored in cleartext in the appsettings.json file

Restart WikiTraccs after changing those settings.
