Unable to connect designer 9.7(local) to IS 9.7(remote) through SOCKS

, ,
1

IS Server is located in client n/w , and client n/w accessible to us through SOCKS proxy.
I am able to access admin console screen of IS through local browser and also able to conect IS 9.7 through our old designer 7.1 without providing any kind of SOCK proxy, the old designer is throwing me backward compatibility error, but it is at least connecting.

I tried providing proxy info in designer 9.7 through Windows->Preference->General->Network Connection SOCK proxy setting. Also in logs I can see proxies are set properly. Help me out!

Solved the issue. The active provider was needed to be configured to manual for SOCKS.

Thanks for help.

Thanks for the help. It resolved my issue.

Just to understand. Could you please give a clarity on why’re we doing this and what is the use of them?

It is due to the proxy/SOCKS proxy settings in your organization, see if you have any proxy server to be enabled on your LAN settings.
