Setting Proxy Authentication

Setting Proxy Authentication

Description

This document is intended to show how to set proxy information for the Lenovo Patch plugin.

If your internet connection goes through a proxy, this may be required for Lenovo Patch to be able to successfully publish updates.

Solution

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Software Library > Software Updates > Lenovo Patch > Updates.
  2. Click the Settings button on the ribbon bar.
  3. Navigate to the General tab within the Lenovo Patch Settings dialog.
  4. (Optional) You can click on 'Do I need proxy information?' to run a quick test to see if Lenovo Patch can successfully connect to the internet.
  5. Put a check in the box next to Use Proxy.
  6. Enter the username and password required for proxy authentication. If your proxy does not require authentication you most likely do not need to enter these settings.
  7. Click the Verify Proxy button.

    Proxy Information

  8. You will be notified with a Proxy dialog stating the results of the proxy test connection to the internet.
  9. Click OK.

    OK

  10. Click OK to close the Lenovo Patch Settings dialog.
