Configure Proxy for DataSync

DataSync requires an Internet connection to validate its license at login. If your company uses a proxy to control Internet access, your network administrator must ensure DataSync can reach the validation servers—and you must update the appsettings.json configuration file. Failing to do so will prevent DataSync from validating its license, and the application will not function.

Configure the proxy server

Add the following address to your proxy server’s list of allowed addresses:
https://onlineactivation.nectari.com

Update the appsetting.json file

1. Open the appsettings.json file located in:
   C:\inetpub\wwwroot\NectariDataSync\DataSyncIdentityServer
2. Find the Proxy section in the file.

   "Proxy": {
       "Address": "",
       "UseCredentials": false,
       "Username": "",
       "Password": ""
   }

3. Enter your proxy server’s address in the "Address" field, for example:
   "Address": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
4. Set "UseCredentials" to true if your proxy requires authentication.
5. Enter the proxy username and password in the "Username" and "Password" fields.
6. Save the file.

important

After upgrading DataSync, always review and update the appsettings.json file. Upgrades overwrite this file, so your proxy settings must be reapplied.
