warning

These instructions assume that you installed Invicti Enterprise on-premises to the default location, which is C:\Program Files (x86). If not, please change the relevant step in the instructions accordingly.

How to configure a proxy for the Invicti Enterprise web application

1. Press the Windows key + E.

2. Paste the following path into the address bar: C:\Program Files (x86)\Invicti Enterprise Web Application.

3. Open Web.config with a text editor and locate the proxy configuration line.

   <system.net>
       <!--<defaultProxy>
           <proxy usesystemdefault="True" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888/"/>
       </defaultProxy>-->
   </system.net>

4. Remove the comment characters from the proxy configuration line.

5. Enter your proxy configuration.

6. Save and close the Web.config file.

7. Restart the IIS for changes to take effect.

tip

In addition to the proxy address, you can also add information such as a bypass list to the proxy configuration. It looks like the following:

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy>
        <proxy proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8080" bypassonlocal="True"/>
        <bypasslist>
            <add address="[a-z]+\.invicti\.com$" />
        </bypasslist>
    </defaultProxy>
</system.net>
