Opened: May 23, 2014

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

You must provide 'Client proxy address' or 'Client Proxy Autoconfig Script' values even if 'Use Client Proxy' is selected in the Network Access configuration UI.

Impact

Administrator is required to enter configuration values that are not used.

Conditions

'Use Client Proxy' option is selected in Network Access configuration UI.

Workaround

Method #1: Enter placeholder values for the required fields. Method #2: Add a variable assign to the VPE (before the resource assign) with the following expression: { expression "return {<client_proxy>1</client_proxy><client_proxy_use_local_proxy>1</client_proxy_use_local_proxy>}" varname config.connectivity_resource_network_access./Common/<network_access_resource>.client_proxy_settings }

Fix Information

The Administrator no longer must provide 'Client proxy address' or 'Client Proxy Autoconfig Script' values if 'Use Client Proxy' is selected in the Network Access configuration UI.
