Configure the following fields in the proxy tab to set up Informatica Managed File Transfer Gateway for forward proxy:

Proxy Tab field	Description
Proxy Type	Managed File Transfer supports SOCKS (version 4 and 5), HTTP tunneling through an HTTP proxy, and Managed File Transfer Gateway. Check with the network administrator for the correct proxy type.
Host	The host name or IP address of the proxy server on your network.
Alternate Host	The host name or IP address of an alternate proxy server. The alternate proxy server is used when the primary proxy server is unavailable.
Port	The port number to use for connecting to the proxy server. If left blank, the default port for an HTTP connection is 80 and SOCKS is 1080.
User	The user name to use for connecting to the proxy server.
Password	The password to use for connecting to the proxy server. This is only needed if your network uses a proxy server to make HTTP(S) connections. After entering the password, you can optionally click the Encrypt button which will encrypt the password when it is stored in the Managed File Transfer database.
Is Password Encrypted	Indicates whether the password is encrypted. Choose Yes if you click the Encrypt button for the Password.

The options are only needed if your system uses a proxy server to make HTTP(S) connections.
