Some networks use Proxy servers to provide Internet Services to LAN Clients. Clients behind the Proxy may therefore, only connect to the Internet via the Proxy Service. The Proxy Configuration dialog enables this configuration. If you are not sure whether your computer is required to use a Proxy server to connect to the Internet or the values required by the Proxy Configuration dialog, please consult your Network Administrator.
Open the Proxy Configuration dialog by selecting
→ → .Complete the dialog as follows:
When checked enables the application to use the specified Proxy Server. When unchecked, Proxy Server is disabled.
The IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Proxy Server.
The TCP Port Number, normally set to 80 or 8080.
The Name of the user if required. Can be empty.
The Password for authentication. Can be empty.
Specify domains for which no proxy should be used.
When checked enables SOCKS using the specified host and port for the server. When unchecked, SOCKS is disabled.
The SOCKS host you wish to connect to.
The SOCKS port you wish to connect to.
If checked and the SVN server accessed by the https protocol requires a digital certificate then the user is asked to specify the file containing a certificate in the PKCS format for accessing that server.
The Proxy settings are first looked up in the options. If there were no previous options set then the settings are loaded from the "servers" file located in the "%HOME%\Application Data\Subversion\" folder on Windows and %HOME%\.subversion\ folder on Linux and Mac OS X.
