   | Setting | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Proxy Host | Fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you are installing the proxy server. Hinweis: Click Detect FQDN to look up the machine's fully qualified domain name and auto-populate the Proxy Host field. Along with the port, this property defines the URL used by the client to access the proxy server. |
   | HTTP Port | Port on the proxy for HTTP communication. |
   | HTTPS Port | Port on the proxy for HTTPS communication. |
   | Proxy Name | Name of the proxy and the service. The proxy name must be unique. |
   | Proxy Poll Interval | Poll interval in seconds. With the default setting, it takes 5 seconds for the proxy to learn of encryption configuration changes. Larger values cause the instance to take longer to detect proxies that have come online. Hinweis: Changing the default setting of the Proxy Poll Interval can result in detection delays when a proxy comes online. |
   | Proxy Keep-Alive Ping Interval | Time in seconds between pings issued by the proxy to the instance. Pings are issued periodically to verify connectivity between the proxy and the instance. The default value is 10. The minimum value is 5. |
