Using a proxy

When authenticating Asprova My Schedule / Asprova WS with online license authentication, the server needs to communicate with Asprova's authentication server.

If the computer where the server is running is configured to use a proxy and communication that does not go through the proxy is not permitted, you need to configure the proxy that the server uses when communicating with Asprova's authentication server. This page explains how to specify the proxy.

info

If the proxy settings are changed, the server must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Using the Windows proxy settings​

When a proxy is set manually​

When a proxy is set manually in the Windows proxy settings, no action is required. The configured information is automatically applied to the server.

When it is set to detect settings automatically​

When "Automatically detect settings" is enabled in the Windows proxy settings and an automatically detected proxy is applied (via WPAD), the server cannot read the proxy settings. In that case, you need to configure the proxy using the configuration file described below.

Specifying the proxy location in the configuration file​

Specify the proxy location in the configuration file.

Open the folder that contains the server executable (AsprovaWS.exe) and move into the config folder. Create a config.json file and write its contents as follows. Specify the proxy location where it says YOUR PROXY LOCATION, for example http://your.proxy.local:3128.

If config.json already exists, add the entry inside that file.

{
  "http_proxy": "YOUR PROXY LOCATION"
}
