QIE connects to URL's outside of your network for the QIE licensing and for any other URL's you may specify in your mappings (e.g. web services for HIE and IIS Registries).
If your organization uses a proxy server to control internet traffic in and out of the network you may need to set the proxy ip and port number in the QIE Server Manager.
One way to be able to locate your organizations proxy settings is through Internet Explorer.
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. On this page you will see "Automatic configuration" and "Proxy server" (manual) settings. Depending on how your organization has implemented the proxy settings you will find an entry under the address field of one of these two methods.
Proxy server:
If you find an entry under the "Proxy Server" or manual section then you can copy the address and port number and use these settings in the QIE Server Manager tool to configure Java to use the proxy.
Automatic configuration:
If however, your settings are listed under the Automatic configuration section then the address will contain a file with a .pac extension. The PAC (proxy auto-config) file is a file that contains code with multiple settings which allow the browser to choose the appropriate proxy server. To look in this file you will need to follow these steps.
1. Copy the URL specified in the address field to the clip board.
2. Past the address into the browser address bar and hit enter to brows to the address.
3. When prompted with the "File Download" dialog box click on Save to save the file to your local computer.
4. Once saved you can open the file with a text editor like notepad.
5. Look for an IP address and port number prefaced in the file with "PROXY". Note: If you see a switch statement in the file with many IP address and port numbers prefaced with "PROXY" you can just pick one. The switch statement is simply used to load balance URL requests across multiple proxy servers.
6. Once located you can try to use that ip address and port number as the proxy host in the QIE Server Manager.
If you cannot find the proxy ip address and port number or if the one you found does not work then you may have to connect with your IT administrator to find out the proxy host and ip address
