You must assign a single server for every type of proxy server (for example, you can’t have multiple FTP proxy servers).
To configure proxy servers for a user or a group:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4Click Network and then click Proxies.
5Set the management setting to Always.
6Select the specific type of proxy you want to configure (FTP, Web, and so on).
7Specify a URL and a port using the form proxyserver.apple.com:8080.
8Click Apply Now.
Allowing Users to Bypass Proxy Servers for Specific Domains
When managing Network preferences for users, you can allow them to bypass proxy settings for specific hosts or domains. Bypassing the proxy server lets users connect directly to specified addresses.
You must set up a proxy server before you can bypass it. For instructions, see “Configuring Proxy Servers by Port” on page 213.
To choose the domains that users can access directly:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4Click Network and then click Proxies.
5Set the management setting to Always.
6In the “Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains” field, enter the addresses of the hosts and domains that you want users to be able to connect to directly.
To enter multiple address, separate the subnet masks with new lines, spaces, semicolons, or commas.
There are several ways to enter addresses:
ÂA subdomain or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a target server, such as server1.apple.com or store.apple.com.
ÂThe specific IP address of a server, such as 192.168.2.1.
