The Proxy Setup page is used to configure JavaServer to act as a proxy server. A proxy server typically runs on a firewall machine to provide Internet access for users on a private network inside a firewall. When Java Server functions as a proxy server, it can be configured to cache frequently-requested documents for faster retrieval and improved response times. JavaServer can be used as a proxy server while also serving documents to local host machines inside the firewall.

Proxy setup is done by selecting one of two tab panels. These are:

• Disk Cache - Sets the location and size of the proxy disk cache and enables or disables it.
• Host and Port - Sets the host and port for both the HTTP and FTP proxy services.

Cache Location
Sets the location of the proxy server's cache file. The default location is server_root/cache.

Max Cache Size
Sets the size of the proxy cache file.

Host and Port Settings

HTTP Proxy Port
Set the port number of the HTTP proxy host. Note: Any time you define or change the port, you must restart the service. To do this, go to the Proxy Basic Setup page and select Restart Service.

FTP Proxy Host
If the JavaServer is acting as an intermediate proxy in an FTP proxy chain, enter the host name of the FTP parent server in the chain.

FTP Proxy Port
Sets the port number of the FTP proxy host.

Buttons

• Save - Writes your changes to the JavaServer and changes the settings.
